New book digs into the joy of gardening and community

A new book celebrating the joy and purpose of gardening has been released by Reepham Community Press.

Up the Garden Path by Victoria Plum blends local stories, gentle humour and practical environmental insight, drawing on real experiences from the Reepham & District Gardening Club and the wider community.

Joyful celebration

The book explores everything from the hidden life beneath winter soil to the friendships formed in local groups.

The author, Tina Sutton (aka “Victoria Plum”), highlights the importance of insects, the resilience of plants and the role everyday gardeners can play in protecting the environment.

The tone is warm, wise and rooted in lived experience, making it accessible to newcomers and seasoned growers alike.
