Autorenporträt
Anni Kelsey grew up in the suburbs of Reading at a time when there were still fragments of the natural world left close by--woods, a lake, tiny streams and a few large trees--and when children were allowed to spend more time unsupervised. Walking everywhere in all weathers and spending much of her free time playing outside gave her ample opportunity to watch these slivers of nature and to fall in love with them. In her late twenties she escaped to west Wales and immediately felt very connected to the landscape, the people, and the culture and took the opportunity to study both geography and the Welsh language as a mature student at Aberystwyth University. Circumstances took her back across the border to the suburbs of Telford and, though she would have loved to work out of doors, her employment consigned her to a series of desks in many different workplaces. Discovering forest gardening marked a significant turning point in her life and she wrote Edible Perennial Gardening in 2014 as a practical guide to growing perennial vegetables and polycultures. When the opportunity arose to move back to Wales she seized it and she now lives in the hilly border country of eastern Powys. Now retired from employment you will often find her outside--in the garden, the woods, out on the hills, or else tucked up somewhere cosy reading a book!
