Cover of Our Wild Garden: two children in a meadow full of flowers and birds

What if wildlife wasn’t something we saw on nature documentaries, but something that lived in our gardens?

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 beautiful (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.

“This celebratory picture book… brings rewilding down to a scale achievable for many young readers… [Makes] positivity rush back like creatures to untidy lawns.”Sunday Times
