The Wall and The Wild

In a plot of land at the edge of town, Ana grows only perfectly-sized plants and perfect-looking flowers, and throws all the irregular shoots and uneven seeds over the wall into the disorderly Wild. But as her garden gets tidier, neater and more constrained, the Wild begins to grow... At a time of accelerating climate change, an eye-opening story about gardening, rewilding and embracing biodiversity in all its forms. WINNER Growing Good Kids Book Award 2022.
