The Walled Garden after dark — the same specimen cards carried into the cold months, poured into frosted white and black glass.
By midwinter the garden has gone quiet. The beds are cut back, the glasshouse is shut, and the sun barely clears the wall. What’s left of the year comes indoors — an orange studded with cloves, an armful of cut fir, the first hard frost.
Specimens N° IV, V and VI carry the herbarium on where summer’s three left off — the same arched labels, printed dark for the season. Each candle is poured a few at a time in Holyport, and each jar is hand-numbered from its batch.
