The Author
Sylvia Woffenden originally chose architecture as her profession: she graduated from the University of Sydney and later worked in London. While there, she met and married an Englishman — a fellow architect — and they came to Australia in 1951.
She had to stay in the city because of her husband's job — but it didn't prevent her from buying a block of land some 150 kilometres south of Sydney for those retirement years; the planting of trees there marked the start of a new lifestyle.
Realising that even hobby gardening needed more factual knowledge, she went to the Ryde School of Horticulture — for three years. After finishing her course, she worked, mostly part-time, in nurseries for some 15 years.
Four years ago she moved to the country and at present she is happily tending her two pet sheep, a small flock of hens and a garden of indoor, cold climate plants.
