She said: “Gardens, like the seasons, are symbols of life and its cycles. They have always been magical places for me - where the tiniest seeds are planted and grow into beautiful expressions of life.”

Of the first track, The Garden, which refers to an awakening, Ruth said: “It was inspired by a theme from Voltaire’s Candide - the idea that we must work on our garden and make our little corner of the world beautiful, in whatever way we can.”

The Garden has received high praises in Canada and the USA and was nominated for a Juno award for roots and traditional album of the year (solo), while the album’s title track was the fourth most played song of 2010 on North American Folk Radio.

Tickets to the Warwick concert, which takes place on Friday, January 13 at 7.30pm, cost £10. Call 776437 or go online.
