In the Garden of My Soul. How a Love of Plants Can Change Your Life and Heal Your Soul

As a child, Alice Vincent loved her grandfather’s garden—it radiated freedom, calm, and beauty. Twenty years later, in a tiny London apartment, that garden begins to feel like a bright dream.

And when she suddenly finds herself in the middle of raging emotions—grief-stricken and with no ground under her feet, having lost everything precious in her life—Alice starts planting seeds.

She grows plants in pots and grapevines on the window sill, filling her new space with greenery, and with every budding petal and unfurling leaf, she starts to come back to life.

Telling her story honestly, Alice reflects on how bringing something real and natural into our lives can help us stand on our feet in a world that spins too fast.

This book is called the answer of the younger generation to “Eat, Pray, Love.” It’s a revelation-book, a research-book, a manifesto-book. A manifesto of a generation raised in big cities, on the internet, and chasing trends— a generation tired of pretending to be like everyone else and trying to become themselves.

Alice Vincent shares an unvarnished story of losing everything and finding herself in nature.
