Our Wild Garden

Introduce kids to the wonderful benefits of wild gardening in this charming picture book that will inspire them to form a meaningful, rewarding relationship with the natural world.

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. 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.

This wild gardening picture book provides kindergarten and elementary school aged children with the perfect introduction to the joys and rewards of wild gardening. With rewilding becoming a growing trend among adult and child gardeners alike, Our Wild Garden offers a beautiful, heart-warming story about connecting with nature and how we can all work together to protect biodiversity and our world.
