What an extremely insightful book! This has lots of very helpful tips. Whether you are a beginner or refreshing your memory i found this a great treat to read.
I adored the meditation pages! These are a great way to relax to the thought of sitting within the beauty of nature. Fabulous.
We have info on plants, herbs and how to use these as common ailments.
I love the depth of information regarding the life cycle of our trees throughout the year. The illustrations are bright and comforting.
This really is the perfect book to cosy up with. I would highly recommend.
Many thanks to Leaping Hare Press and Edeilweiss+ for an ARC. This was a pleasure to review.

I am recommending this book for therapy. Sorry kids. The adults will need this book more.
“What is a leaf?”
Yes, that’s right.
The book actually answers patiently and you will get a book with all the seasons of the year so beautifully packed taking you to the most insignificantly significant information about the environment we are all thriving in.
I do not think I will ever need therapy as long as I have this book. If you are someone like me who feels anxious without something to read and depends wholeheartedly on books to calm down or de-stress, trust me you will find the peace when you reach the fourth page. That’s how calming and reassuring this book is.
I know this colourful and informative book on nature is meant for young readers but it has cast a spell on me that no other fiction can. I just need the physical copy as soon as possible.
(I want to do a thesis on this book. But I won’t do it here now.)
This book will bring you so much closer to Nature. Kid you not, be ready to celebrate each page with all the beautiful art that’s there.
The book is describing Nature with all the charm the-best-magician-can kind of spell and I am already under this spell.
I don’t think I will ever recover from this read.
Thank you, you magicians in Leaping Hare Press/Quarto Publishing Group, for the spell. The ARC. Calmed and peaced.

I received an arc of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
The inclusion of urban spaces for gardening, and finding nature was much appreciated. I love the ideas for gardening in a small space, and tips for certain crops.
I love that there were month to month celestial bodies that could be caught at that time.
Once this is released in physical form, I think I may purchase this as a coffee table read for my house.

I think this book will be a big hit with many people, especially those who like mindfulness exercises and philosophical waxing. It had a kind of generic feeling to it for me, so much so that I went back to the front to see if there was an author listed or if it was written by an AI. It turns out it was written by an “editorial team,” so it may actually have been largely written by a bot and then assembled into a stylish, workable almanac by staff members.
Each season has a page with large fonts about some element of nature like what a tree or seed is, then some sort of general meditation to think about on that topic, a plant profile and perhaps a project (typically without too much direction) and some sort of advice like to walk in wet weather. There were a few herbal recipes that intrigued me and I wish there were lots more of those.
The book is illustrated throughout with stylized computer art. I thought that was AI as well but an artist is credited with it. There are no photos but the book is heavy with this art, which many people will probably love.
The book does seem to be written for a UK audience. It has advice that won’t work for my Minnesota home, like to plant a tree in January. In general it should be usable for anyone though.
I read a temporary digital copy of this book for review.

The Leaping Hare Nature Almanac has an abundance of information, mental exercises, and reflections for nature minded people. I particularly liked the meditations; they were written similarly to visualization guided meditation would be and it would work so well as an audiobook. It was also full of great information for gardening, but it seemed limited to the UK and to those who can garden. It does have a few sections about urban and community gardening, but most of the tips seemed inaccessible for people without wide resources. It was organized very well and would be good to read month-to-month; reading it all in one go made it a bit repetitive. The illustrations are gorgeous and add to the calming tone of the book.
