But when the telephone rang, the news she received changed everything. Her eldest sister had died in a canoeing accident.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFive years later, struggling with grief, the demands of being a parent-carer for her young son, and the impact of deeper austerity, life feels very different to the future she had imagined. A move to a new social housing estate in rural Cumbria offers Victoria and her family a chance to rebuild their lives. Constructed over an industrial site, at first the barren ground seems an unlikely place to sow the seeds of a new life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe and her son set about transforming the rubble around them into a wild apothecary garden.
