Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eloquent text and stunning illustrations combine to explore the many ways seeds are distributed, including animals, weather and wind, human action, and even the plants themselves. A farmer and her son carefully plant seeds in their garden. In the wild garden, many seeds are planted too, but not by farmers' hands. Different kinds of animals transport seeds, often without knowing it. Sometimes rain washes seeds away to a new location. And sometimes something extraordinary occurs, like when the pods of Scotch broom burst open explosively in the summer heat, scattering seeds everywhere like popcorn. Kathryn Galbraith's lyrical prose seamlessly combines with Wendy Halperin's elegant, crisp illustrations to show how many elements work together through the seasons to create and sustain the wild meadow garden.

Book excerpt: In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.

Book excerpt: Introduce kids to wild gardening in this charming picture book and inspire them to form a meaningful, rewarding relationship with the natural world at a young age. What if wildlife wasn't only something we saw on nature documentaries, but something that lived in our gardens too? When Ali and Poppy hear about wild gardening at school, they immediately start to dream about all the adventures they could have if they invited the wild into their backyard. They soon set to work transforming their ordinary garden into a beautiful (and slightly less tidy) place that can be a home for a wide variety of animals and plants. They dig a pond, let the lawn grow into a meadow, and allow their hedge to become a messy tangle perfect for little creatures to hide in. Soon their garden is a beautiful place, full of wild flowers and butterflies, where they see hedgehogs and migrating birds, fox cubs and hummingbird hawk moths... Eventually, Ali and Poppy find themselves looking forward to each new year and season in a new way – because of all the wildlife adventures it will bring to them. Rewilding is a growing trend, with many prominent champions, but this is the first wild gardening picture book aimed at kindergarden and elementary school age children. A connection with nature is one of the most valuable gifts any parent can give a child, as it will enrich their whole lives, and this picture book will help parents to give that gift.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filled with charmingly rustic illustrations of people, plants and animals, this story about community and biodiversity introduces children to the variety of ways things can grow and flourish in nature. In the village of Mirren, a tidy community garden is carefully organized and tended by the townspeople. On the other side of the garden wall is a wild patch of land— a jumble of trees, a pond, and tall grassy places. While the garden is cared for in different ways throughout the seasons, Jilly and her grandfather like to visit the wild place, foraging for mushrooms, asparagus, and nuts, and watching the insects, birds and other animals. When the townspeople decide they need a bigger garden, they make plans to expand beyond the wall into the wild place. Worried about what will happen to their special piece of nature, Jilly and her grandfather come up with a plan, inviting the townspeople to discover a new kind of gardening. Their plan works and the wild place and the community garden merge harmoniously; the bees pollinate the crops, berry bushes take over a garden corner, pumpkins grow along the pond, and delicious herbs appear among the ferns. Cynthia Cliff’s lovingly detailed illustrations reveal the joys of every kind of garden, while her story offers endless opportunities to talk about healthy eating, nature, ecological gardening, and friendship.

Book excerpt: In "The Wild Garden," author Ben Page, a renowned Forest Therapy Guide and global advocate for nature's healing power, invites readers into a captivating tale that transcends the ordinary. This narrative, crafted as the first in a series of 'children's books for all ages, ' including "The World In My Pocket," unfolds in a mystical forest, untouched by human hands. Page masterfully intertwines the story of a pristine forest, embodying the essence of wildness, with the journey of a human who arrives with a vision to transform it. The narrative explores the profound theme of human intervention in nature and the persistent struggle between the wild and the manicured, between control and letting be. As the gardener works tirelessly to shape the forest into his ideal, the story unfolds a poignant commentary on human's often misguided attempts to dominate nature. The tale takes a turn when the gardener, wearied by his relentless efforts, realizes the futility of resisting the natural world. His journey of acceptance and compassion, welcoming all elements of the wild, including death, mirrors the human quest for understanding our place in the natural world. "The Wild Garden" is more than just a story; it's a profound meditation on our relationship with nature. It reminds us of the wildness within us, the intricate connection between life and death, and the beauty of accepting the natural order of things. Ben Page, with his background in human development and social change and as a co-founder of The Open School, brings a unique perspective to this narrative. His previous work, "Healing Trees: A Pocket Guide to Forest Bathing," already established his profound connection with nature and its therapeutic qualities. Embark on this enchanting journey with "The Wild Garden," a book that's not just for children but for anyone who seeks to rediscover their bond with nature and the profound wisdom it holds. As you delve into the pages, you might just find yourself questioning, reconnecting, and ultimately, returning to the wildness that resides within us all.
