Description
<b>What if wildlife wasn't something we saw on nature documentaries, but something that lived in our gardens?
</b>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 garden.
They speak to their parents, and soon set to work transforming their ordinary back garden into a beautifully (and slightly less tidy) place, full of wild flowers and butterflies, where they can see hedgehogs and migrating birds, fox cubs and hummingbird hawk moths...
<i>Our Wild Garden</i> is a stunning picturebook about rewilding and forming a meaningful, rewarding relationship with the natural world at a young age.
