Far away from troublemakers and intruders, without a husband and children, without guests and obligations, to enjoy the beauties of the garden and the wonders of nature every day just for herself - while digging the lush, moist earth, creating flower beds, planting flowers, watering, raking, weeding, and mowing. How wonderful this idea seems to Elizabeth! Yet, obstacles are, of course, inevitable: not only is the in-house gardener in her way - it simply does not befit the gracious lady to tend to the garden herself - but soon enough, the longed-for peace is also disrupted, which she wanted to enjoy as undisturbed as possible, even in idleness... No one tells the story of her garden quite like Elizabeth von Arnim: full of humor and gentle irony, but above all, with an unbridled love for everything that grows and thrives there.
