This book brought me a lot of calm and peace. Living in an urban environment makes it slightly more challenging to connect with nature, but not at all impossible. I am fortunate to live near several parks, and this book encouraged me to pay attention to and be mindful of my surroundings; from the grass to the clouds to the trees to the birds, if you choose to notice it, nature is everywhere and we are as much a part of it as every other living thing.

Enjoyed this book more than i thought I would. Whilst it was an entry level book for enjoying nature, I still learnt things and found it interesting. It was well presented and read well on the audiobook version.

A great reminder of the powers nature holds, with journal prompts, suggested activities as well as recipes/remedies. A very restorative read!

Faith Douglas has struck the perfect balance between telling her own very emotional story and providing key knowledge, that really, we should all be clued up on. Described as “a restorative guide to the natural world”, this is a book that everyone should have on their bookshelf. Actually no I take that back, everyone should have it on their coffee table, out on display and easily accessible.
