Sunday Read: In Sussex, a Floral Designer Finds New Life in an Untamed Garden
by Carolyn Asome for T Magazine
If there’s one thing I’ve certainly never had, it’s a green thumb. Another thing I don’t have is a picturesque countryside home in Sussex. And unfortunately for me, the subject of this week’s Sunday read has both.
Here’s an excerpt:
Growing up in South London, the floral designer Milli Proust never imagined she’d one day leave the city. To begin with, she was afraid of the dark; her idea of country living was a stroll in the park with her neighbor’s whippet. And yet, on a sharp January morning five and a half years ago, she found herself at the end of a dirt road in West Sussex, surrounded by trees, taking stock of the new home she’d just purchased with her boyfriend, Ted Dwane, the bassist for the folk-rock group Mumford & Sons: a wattle-and-daub cottage with a brick chimney and a tiled cat-slide roof near where Dwane had grown up. Proust, a trained actor, sat on the brow of a hill and cried.
If the Architectural Digest home tours on YouTube turned into photo-filled exposés for T Magazine, this would be a prime example. Take a deep breath, toss on some Johnny Flynn, and enjoy.
