​The Xerophyte

Laced with humour comes ,   a lyrical exploration of a woman's tangled relationship to life, death, love and career. What does your xerophytic garden look like?

"I’m not a thirsty kind of person. Hungry? Yes. Thirsty? Not so much. And, though the lakeshore is my true home, some days, I really fancy myself a xerophyte from the Greek xeros for dry and phuton, meaning plant. Drought-tolerant plant: succulents, aloes, cacti, sansevierias, jades, me".
