Pages : 154

Book Description
This book of short stories and essays is about sunrises and wildness, about wildflowers and walks. It is also a book about you, about me, and about the ecosystem regeneration possible through learning to see the wild gifts of the ordinary.Wild Like Flowers is a collection of personal reflections from a wild land that utilizes the magical gifts of being, connection, reciprocity, and community to probe the larger concerns of the modern agricultural movement-Regenerative and Commercial Agriculture-in lyrical and meditative prose that is a true celebration of life itself.This book presents a choice to stop; to nurture awareness; to learn a language of relationship instead of dominance-of community not colonization. A choice that understands life and the landscape of our place as something we commune with-a relationship-instead of seeing it as a Natural Resource or its abundance as Ecosystem Services.Drawing on life in his Wildland-a 400-acre process-led and emergent farm that nurtures ecosystem regeneration, carbon sequestration, nourishing foods, bio-diversity, and species habitat-the acclaimed author, emergent conservationist, and Savory Institute Hub Leader, Educator, and Consultant, Daniel Firth Griffith, provides a poetic portrait of the powers, magic, and rich abundance harvested in his family's Regenerative Wildland.

Book Description
This is an innovative and remarkably user-friendly guide to the identification of the flowers of Britain and northwestern Europe. By organising the species by their colour group first (and by family within that colour group), this guide enables those less familiar with flower taxonomy to quickly and easily find what they are looking for - a great improvement on the often-frustrating business of trawling through a conventionally-organised guide. The lovely artwork by acclaimed illustrator Marjorie Blamey, with a neat, focused and simple text, makes this book a joy to use.
