Travels in my garden.

I had the insolent luck to travel the world for thirty years. In February 2019, after yet another trip to China, a more sedentary desire replaced my desire to go over hill and dale. Indeed, I had not paid attention to my immediate environment for too long.

Drawing a portrait of his garden and everything that inhabits it, living things or memories, Nicolas Jolivot takes the reader on a journey through time. Going back to 1821, to the origins of a barely demarcated plot of land and to the furthest reaches of a family memory, the author unfolds in parallel a year of life and activities in this place shaped by the perpetual movement of nature and the spirit of those who lived there.
