Description
Seeds are dispersed in many ways, from animals to wind and human action. In the wild garden, seeds are planted by nature itself, not just by farmers' hands. Animals transport seeds without knowing it, while rain washes them away to new locations. The natural world is full of surprises, like when Scotch broom pods burst open explosively in summer heat, scattering seeds everywhere. Kathryn Galbraith's lyrical prose combines with Wendy Halperin's elegant illustrations to show how the wild meadow garden comes alive through the seasons. As the plants grow and change, different elements work together to create a thriving ecosystem. This book explores the many ways nature works together to create a beautiful and sustainable wild garden.
