M：Mrs. Whinfield, thank you very much for your allowing me to visit your wonderful garden. It really helps me a lot to write an article on Dorset gardens for our paper. Now I wonder if I could ask you a few questions.

W：Yes, sure.

M：Could you tell me when you became interested in gardening?

W：Well, I was always interested in wild flowers and then in 1980 I read Margery Fish’s book college Garden Flowers, which is full of practical advice and personal opinions. But I was reading about plants that I didn’t know. So I started to read as much as I could and get different writers’ advice. I also used to visit Kew Gardens a lot. That was when we lived in Harrow, West London. I learned a lot from my visits. By the way, Dorset is one of England’s three most beautiful counties, the other two being Wiltshire and Somerset. You must know that I am often invited to give talks to biology students in colleges.

M：Yes, certainly. That’s why I came here. Hmm, now what was your first garden like?

W：It was a very tiny piece of land, which came with my house in Harrow, West London.

M：Do you grow many plants yourself?

W：I don’t grow many plants from seeds, but I have several friends, then we often give each other plants. My garden is a place which reminds me of so many people through the plants they’ve given me.
