Into Green: Everyday ways to find and lose yourself in nature

by Rose Ray, Caro Langton

Into Green is an inspiring collection of projects, wisdom and ideas that guide you to explore the natural world around you.

“Brimful with accessible and inventive ideas, this beautiful book provides an inspiring and practical guide to fostering calm and connectedness.”
― Sue Stuart-Smith, author of The Well Gardened Mind

This brilliant book invites you to journey into nature, no matter how urban your environment or green your neighbourhood.

This is a book of projects, wisdom and ideas that not only inspire you to get outside and enjoy this beautiful planet, but to find meaningful interactions with nature that cultivate a happier headspace.

Authors Caro Langton and Rose Ray, founders of Ro Co @studio.roco, explore how being surrounded by green can bring you calm, hope, bravery, wonder and a sense of belonging, and help you connect with green so that you can expand and retreat, grow and disappear, and to ultimately find and lose yourself in nature. This book teaches you how nature can help you build confidence, believe in yourself, and travel a path that is authentic to you.

Into Green full of simple rituals to incorporate into your everyday life, as well as facts, wonders and science that spark awe (which almost always lead to seeing the world differently) as well as creative projects that build a confident relationship with nature, from creating a wildflower window box to dyeing fabrics with plant materials.

INTO GREEN is a gorgeously illustrated guide with helpful strategies for using nature to boost health and creativity. “Green” designers based in London, the co-authors include instructive stories from their own lives, tips on planting and gardening, delicious recipes, and more.

I found that my breathing and heart rate slowed as I read, bringing back memories of glorious hikes in the Colorado Rockies. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a natural antidote to stress.

Completely obsessed. “If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that small pleasures are powerful”. This book is a sparkling gem and I can’t wait to buy a copy for myself, my mom and all of my closest friends. Into Green is a glorious celebration of our natural world and the exponential healing powers it possesses. A thoughtful journal of inspirational anecdotes, insightful garden tips, recipes to ignite your senses, and so much more – all playfully sprinkled with darling illustrations. This book is a must have for any nature-loving, dirt-digging, garden enthusiast in your life!

Absolutely Beautiful.

I have been devastated that I could not get the full book to download. But I have been researching online like crazy for snippets.

I am so excited about the concept of this book and the gorgeous artwork.

Big thanks to NetGalley for the intro to the book. I will be purchasing.

This book was as much about mindfulness as it was about finding or bringing nature into your urban landscape. I long to have green around me and need the colors and scents of fresh flowers to get me through the long winter season in Minnesota. Chock full of ideas for city dwellers to get their fill of nature and playfully illustrated.

Easily one that I'll go back to over and over again. Very cute design and illustrations, and really good ideas to make us reconnect with the nature around us. As a biologist I feel like I'm sensitive to the wild and natural, but it's very easy to forget about it with the fast paced, confusing cityscapes. I recommend this book to everyone, both specialist and general public.
