A Wilder Way
'A wise, passionate, heartfelt book. An invaluable resource for those seeking greater attunement with the year's cycles' - Katherine May 'I learnt so much, about the alchemy of the living world and the possibilities of relationship. I finished the book newly awestruck by planet Earth and all the life that she carries. Beautifully written, nourishing, evocative and inspiring' - Lucy Jones, author of Losing Eden 'Poppy's fresh-eyed look at her own little corner of the county gave me a renewed sense of wonder and delight at the joys and challenges of loving and (on good days) living off a small patch of land. Plus some truly brilliant ideas for getting the most from it' - Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall 'This is an intimate look at building a true relationship with a garden and all that live in it. Practical, poetic, political -like the best conversations over tea in the garden' - Alys Fowler-----------A Wilder Way is a memoir of a relationship with an ever-changing garden, of setting down roots and becoming embedded in nature, and of how tending to a patch of land will not only grow us as individuals, but can also help to grow a better world. Join Poppy Okotcha in her wild little garden in Devon, where, over the course of a year, she shares the inspiring, the mundane and the magical moments that arise from tending a garden through the seasons, and what they can teach us about living more sustainably. Alongside tips for sowing and growing, wild ingredients to be found and delicious seasonal recipes to make, she shows us how the small joys of engaging with the natural world are imperative for our physical and emotional wellbeing. How the more we look at the world around us, the more we learn and the more we care. Woven throughout are personal stories, exploration of environmental issues facing us today, and folktales from her English and Nigerian heritage - stories with nature at their heart that have inspired her, and will inspire us to live a little more wildly.

You're Overwatering It!
A maximalist, humorous guide to growing and caring for houseplants--whatever your space, whatever your personality--from a plant fanatic who has transformed his home into an indoor jungle. Water your plant every 7 days? Rubbish. Misting increases humidity? Barely. All plants go dormant in winter? Not if you control their environment. And don't even get me started on the "just put an ice cube on your orchid" people. You monsters. New from social media sensation The Bearded Plantaholic (known as Jonny Balchandani IRL), You're Overwatering It! helps readers choose houseplants to fit their lifestyle, personality, and taste--leading them to plants that will work for them, rather than what's in style. This fun, funny, and gamified guide helps readers perfect their plant parenting skills, working through levels from Plant Noob to Budding Botanist, Plant Whisperer to Plant Curator, and then finally to Plant Mystic. This is a wildly comprehensive yet eminently accessible guidebook from a peer expert, with a fresh voice that brings humor and irreverence to the indoor gardening space. Readers will learn how to grow plants better, what they're doing wrong, and why to ditch the tempting yet distracting myths that send many houseplant growers badly astray. Balchandani teaches plant stewards not just how to care for their beloved houseplants, but how to understand them--so caring for them stops being a chore and starts becoming second nature.
