Episode 3: Marchelle Farrell

In this episode I’m joined by the award-winning author Marchelle Farrell. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and I’d be interested to know how many of you pick up a trowel or think about gardening after this episode!
We discuss everything from belonging, home, the link between Jilly Cooper and Jane Austen (you'll be surprised!). Martin Lewis being the saviour of the human race, the role of nature as restorative in both mental and physical health, the village WhatsApp group, the importance of laughter. Marchelle also dives into the origins of carnival and life in the Caribbean compared to life in The Uk. This is one of the most visual conversations I’ve had. A feast for the senses.
*There's the usual technical turbulence, this week in the form of a rogue echo!
Born in Trinidad and Tobago, Marchelle has spent the last twenty years attempting to become hardy here in the UK. She has trained and worked as a consultant psychiatrist and psychotherapist, and is deeply curious about the relationships between our external landscapes and internal ones, the patterns that are reenacted in the human relationship with the land, and how they might be changed. When not neglecting it for the care of her young children, or her work in the community, Marchelle spends much of her time getting to know her country garden in Somerset, and writing about the things the garden teaches her about herself. Her debut memoir, ‘Uprooting’, won the 2021 Nan Shepherd Prize for nature writing, and was shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing in 2024.
