Created during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, Our Lockdown Garden is a series of portraits and collected stories made in collaboration with residents in their 80s and 90s at my father’s retirement community in Newport Pagnell, Milton Keynes.
Marking the occasion of the 75th anniversary of VE Day, the project reflects on living history through the memories and resilience of the ‘silent generation’ — the last to have experienced both World War II and the pandemic.

“I am a follower of Ruth Toda-Nation on Instagram. Our Lockdown Garden is a beautifully written and photographed book dedicated to the residents who live/lived in the same assisted living facility as Ruth’s father during the Covid pandemic. These beautiful souls showed true resilience, courage and grace whilst enduring a brutal, unbending government lockdown in the name of preserving their physical health. It speaks to the soul”.
