Fiona Bowring, Liz and her House of Hearts (PEOPLE 2023)

I was drawn to Liz’s place because of the two large hearts she has sculpted in her hedge. In a year in which I sought out people who were doing what they loved, I wanted to meet the person who lived in and cared for the ‘House of Hearts’. It's been Liz's home since she was 8 years old. The hearts are hedging happenstance: a little dip that went too far, Liz says, ‘about 10 years ago’ and carefully nurtured by her ever since.
