I’m finally reading my thesis one more time before making it available online so anyone who wants to read it can do so.

It’s entitled ‘Banal Utopia: urban gardening as a practice for materialising utopic city spaces’

I’m struck by how much more hope I have than before I started my doctoral studies.

People who grow in cities carry out an act that is at once radical and ordinary. Transformative and banal.

I’m so grateful for having been able to bear witness to, think with and participate in it.

Listening to presentations on medieval and early modern food provisioning across Europe.

Struck by London’s long history of being sustained by other parts of the world (info from Bruce Campbell)

In 1638 - 25% of London’s population sustained by foreign grain.
