About this listen

Seed to Dust is a moving and restorative account of a life lived in harmony with nature.

Any garden belongs to everyone who sees it - it is like a book, and everybody who visits it will find different things.

Marc Hamer has designed and nurtured 12 acres of garden for over two decades. It is rarely visited, so he is the only person who fully knows its secrets; but it is not his own. His relationship with the garden’s owner is both distant and curiously intimate, steeped in the mysterious connection which exists between two people who inhabit the same space in very different ways.

In this life-enhancing audiobook, Marc takes us month-by-month through his experiences both working in the garden and outside it, as the seasons’ changes bring new plants and wildlife to the fore and lead him to reflect on his past and future. Through his peaceful and meditative prose, we learn about gardening folklore and wisdom, the joys of manual labour, his path from solitary homelessness to family contentment and the cycle of growth and decay that runs through both the garden’s life and our own.

Delightful book very well narrated

Fabulous book, nature writing, poetry and earthly wisdom, beautifully narrated by Owen Teale I am enjoying every bit of it.
The experience is enhance by the presence of a table of contents so you can move through the book as you wish. Shear delight.

A kindred spirit.

After some 30 years working in gardens I enjoyed every second of this audio book, identifying with so much and appreciating every detail. One to listen to again one day. Thank you.
