Welcome to another way of being: one where the gardener and nature work hand in hand to create something that merges the beautiful and sustainable. Carol Bruce has spent over 20 years considering how we relate to nature and the implications this has for gardening. Driven to find a balance between a wild and cultivated environment, she developed a method that brings both together in a holistic system, which has resulted in a garden of otherworldly beauty. A self-taught gardener, Carol has designed a spectacular garden from scratch, which harnesses self-sowing, natural selection for resilience, is free from irrigation, pesticides, and fertilizer – and acts as a haven for wildlife. Having worked through all the trial and error herself, she now shares her knowledge, proven techniques, and planting schemes to give others a shortcut to transforming their own space – whether starting from scratch or with a garden to adapt. In Nature’s Slipstream recounts the world through her eyes and acts as a personal gardening tutor so that you too can achieve a beautiful, manageable garden that is in balance with nature.

Author Biography

In 2003 Carol Bruce began turning three acres of neglected ground into an award-winning garden. She developed an innovative approach to gardening that fuses natural selection and landscape-inspired design techniques into a garden that is both an ornamental ecosystem and a living work of art. Since it first opened to visitors through the National Garden Scheme in 2012, the garden at Old Bladbean Stud has featured eight times in gardening magazines and raised over £80,000 for charity. In 2023 it was voted winner of the Nation’s Favourite Gardens competition for the South East by readers of The English Garden magazine and in 2022 and 2024, the garden featured on BBC Gardeners’ World.
