Does anyone know of research pertaining to the history of big garden centres in Ireland and if there is a connection to the Celtic Tiger/being part of EU?

In that glorious stage of just starting a new book project, where the ideas are fresh as the thoughts are still forming; the theories are weaving together as the patterns are coming into place and every art work is rich with the potential for analysis..... working title: Trading in Visions

I’m re-reading Parable of the Sower for a workshop and from the moment of opening the first page to ‘2024’ my face has just been the grimace emoji 😬 page after page, paired with a very quiet eeenggghghhhhg
The opening page of Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower, which was published in 1993 and takes place in a speculative 2024. The book sits on a cork mat and there is a space printed mousepad and a bookmark from Christopher’s Books to the side.

Driving country roads in early morning/night when foggy is both terrifying and thrilling; I feel like I am in a ghost story.
