Epistle from the Black Garden

Tucked into the corner of the Black Garden is a plant not much bigger than a sapling. Its flat leaves are distinctively delicate. This is a black currant bush.

And this variety is called Ebony. It is the sweetest of all varieties.

Love letter #

Dear Black Garden,

What’s happening below the soil? How long will it take for the green orbs to turn black? Will they be sweet? Will they pop like grapes as we enjoy them?

Forever,
