Synopsis

Natasha Spender is the widow of the English poet Stephen Spender. She came into contact at a young age with the renowned gardens of such literary figures as Virginia and Leonard Woolf, Harold Nicolson, Vita Sackville-West, and Michael Astor. She was a professional concert pianist, then worked on research into the cognitive psychology of music and she only turned to gardening only much later in life when in the 1960s they acquired the ruins of a farmhouse in Provence. She is currently engaged in setting up an archive of twentieth-century English literature for the Stephen Spender’s authorised biographer, John Sutherland.
