M: Mrs. Winfield, thank you very much forallowing me to visit your wonderful garden. It really helps me a lot to writean article on Dorset gardens for our paper. Now I wonder if I could ask you afew questions. W: Yes, sure. M: Could you tell me when you becameinterested in gardening? W: Well, I was always interested in wildflowers and then in1980 I read Margery Fish’s book Cottage Garden Flowers,which is full of practical advice and personal opinions. But I was readingabout plants that I didn’t know, so I started to read as much as I could andget different writers’ advice. I also used to visit Kew Gardens a lot. That waswhen we lived in Harrow, West London. I learned a lot from my visits. By theway, Dorset is one of England’s three most beautiful towns, the other two beingWiltshire and Somerset. You must know that. I’m often invited to give talks tobiology students in colleges. M: Yes, certainly. That’s why I came here. Mm, now whatwas your first garden like? W: It was a very tiny piece of land, whichcame with my house in Harrow, West London. M: Do you grow many plants yourself? W: I don’t grow many plants from seeds. ButI have several friends and we often give each other plants. My garden is a place which oftenreminds me of so many people through the plants they’ve given me. [Fade]
