Just beyond the garden's wall, a wild and untamed patch of land beckons, adorned with a diverse array of trees, a serene pond, and towering grassy areas. While the garden undergoes various seasonal transformations, Jillian and her grandfather find solace in the untamed wilderness, embarking on foraging expeditions to gather mushrooms, asparagus, and nuts, while also marveling at the vibrant array of insects, birds, and other creatures that inhabit this natural sanctuary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, as the townspeople envision a larger and more expansive garden, they contemplate expanding beyond the confines of the wall into the untamed wilderness. Concerned about the potential impact on their cherished natural haven, Jillian and her grandfather devise a clever plan. They invite the townspeople to embrace a new form of gardening, one that blends harmoniously with the wildness of the land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir proposal resonates with the community, and the wild place and the community garden seamlessly merge, creating a tapestry of biodiversity and culinary delights. Bees diligently pollinate the crops, berry bushes take over a corner of the garden, pumpkins thrive along the pond's edge, and a variety of delicious herbs emerge amidst the ferns. Cynthia Cliffs' exquisite illustrations vividly depict the joys of every kind of garden, while her story opens up endless opportunities for discussions about healthy eating, nature, ecological gardening, and the profound connections that can be forged through friendship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 540g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 349 x 229 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783791375120\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cynthia Cliff","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44101493260538,"sku":"9783791375120","price":8.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/9783791375120.jpg?v=1647022365","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-wild-garden-9783791375120","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
