A couple of years ago I decided to leave Sydney and find refuge in a remote valley from what’s coming. This is the story of that failed escape and the refuge I find in gardening, still living in the city.

Why did my escape fail?

What’s coming?

Here is my best guess in an article I wrote for The Fifth Estate.

What do you think is coming to where you live in the next ten years?

What do you say about my ideas, predictions and how I choose to partly answer these questions through gardening. I’d love to hear from you.
