{"product_id":"pharmacopoeia","title":"Pharmacopoeia","description":"\u003cp\u003e'I planted a dog rose. Then I found a curious piece of driftwood and used this, and one of the necklaces of holey stones on the wall, to stake the rose. The garden had begun. I saw it as a therapy and a pharmacopoeia.' In 1986 artist and filmmaker, Derek Jarman, bought Prospect Cottage, a Victorian fisherman's hut on the desert sands of Dungeness. It was to be a home and refuge for Jarman throughout his HIV diagnosis, and it would provide the stage for one of his most enduring, if transitory projects - his garden. Conceived of as a 'pharmacopoeia' - an ever-evolving circle of stones, plants and flotsam sculptures all built and grown in spite of the bracing winds and arid shingle - it remains today a site of fascination and wonder. 'Pharmacopoeia' brings together the best of Derek Jarman's writing on nature, gardening and Prospect Cottage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57940734673270,"sku":"9781784877330","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/9857\/1159\/files\/9781784877330.jpg?v=1779552427","url":"https:\/\/bookbag.mom\/products\/pharmacopoeia","provider":"Bookbag Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
