'These rich and intimate conversations offer new perspectives on our interactions with nature' - The FT I’m Alice Vincent and I’ve been on a quest to understand why women go to ground when there’s so much else to do. In Why Women Grow I have inspiring conversations with designers, chefs, entrepreneurs, and writers in their gardens. This isn’t a podcast about gardening. Sure there’s bit of that but we discuss resistance, motherhood, spirituality, saving the planet and much more. These stories made me think differently about what it is to grow, and I think they’ll do that for you, too.

Louise Pascal on gardening in a time of crisis

What does it mean to be split between two places? Where we come from, and where we work? For actor Louise Pascal, putting on a character is part and parcel of her daily life, but one that relies on her returning to her childhood garden to ground herself in the realities of a landscape weathering the climate crisis.

We meet Louise in the village of Cucuron, over an Orangina, next to a pretty, tree-lined pond. There, she tells us about how to live a life caught between the bustle of Paris and the expanse of Provence, and how she connects with nature to give her hope in a changing world.

Louise’s latest film just premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, and is called Colours of Time, but you can see more from behind the scenes of her acting and gardening on Instagram - @louisepascal.

This podcast is inspired by Alice's book, ⁠Why Women Grow: Stories of Soil, Sisterhood and Survival⁠, which is available in all good bookshops. We’ve also been photographing our guests and their gardens and you can see the beautiful images captured by ⁠Sophie Epton on ⁠Alice's website⁠ and instagram account @⁠⁠⁠alicevincentwrites⁠⁠⁠.
