I've gone there for years and only recently learned that the farm & gardens were designed by Chadwick in the late 1970s.
On the other side of one hill that creates the valley is the Pacific Ocean, on some days audibly roaring against the shores of Muir Beach. One of my favorite walks in the Bay Area is Green Gulch, a long, lush valley, lined with organic vegetable farms, and terminating in a refuge-like garden of tall rose bushes and wooden benches. Chadwick was an English actor and avid gardner who came to America and eventually taught at UC Santa Cruz, where he became a pioneer of the type of holistic thinking about our connection to the earth that can seem almost a given now. This is a lyric history of Alan Chadwick, a major mover of the Organic Movement in California in the 1960s & 70s, written by his long-time collaborator Paul A. I never realized this note was tucked into this book until today, but it was a beautiful surprise & makes me even more anxious to get better connected to this book in the coming months.ĥ.) THERE IS A GARDEN IN THE MIND by PAUL A. Gibson for her sister, who had requested it. She had hand-copied out a poem about Brooke by the poet Wilfred W. When I opened it to shoot this picture today, I found a letter inside (shown above), written in fountain pen in 1920 by a woman to her sister. I bought this copy a while back, but feel motivated to read it now by the centenary of Brooke's death, which passed in April of this year.
This memoir was written shortly after he died by his close friend, Edward Marsh. His poetry and attitude made him a hero of my teenage years, and he still holds a certain fascination for me. He was young, famously good looking (Yeats called him "the handsomest young man in England), and a poet of rising fame.
He quickly became the symbol of all that was lost in that conflict. Rupert Brooke was a poet who died serving in the British Navy during World War 1.
