She and her husband decide to take a leap, moving hundred miles north of everything they know to the Scottish islands of Orkney, where the winters are long and the summers filled with light. In an unfamiliar landscape, Victoria instinctively returns to the work of growing, setting out to transform her scrappy backyard into an apothecary garden by the sea, inspired by Orkney’s folklore and ancient landscapes. Shaped by tides and storms, wild plants and seaweeds, she creates a biodiverse backyard sanctuary filled with microhabitats, wildflowers and edible herbs. Here she crafts teas, tinctures and balms shaped by the surrounding soil and seas. As the year closes, Victoria finds belonging not only in the garden she has nurtured, but in the landscape that has quietly embraced her and become home.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author: \u003c\/strong\u003eVictoria Bennett is a disabled, award-winning writer, poet, and literary activist whose work centres on nature, identity, and creative resilience.
