A year or nuturing yourself through nature, by Willow Crossley. 

Whether you live in a house or flat, in a rural or urban environment, this beautiful book
shows how to harness the natural world around us and feel more grounded and rooted
in our surroundings.

The Wild Journal is a beautifully illustrated guide from leading florist and nature writer
Willow Crossley. Guiding you through creative practical projects and therapeutic
seasonal reflections, The Wild Journal celebrates the potential of nature to mend, heal
and transform our mood.

The simple, back-to-basics habits and small seasonal changes in the book can help
everyone to counteract the unpredictability and chaos of everyday life. Wherever you
live, there are simple mindful actions – from listening to birdsong instead of rushing
on your commute, to collecting natural treasures such as feathers, branches, pebbles
or pine cones. Willow shares her creative techniques for bringing nature into your
daily routine – whether it's planting and potting, identifying wild flowers, trying your
hand at beautifully simple flower arrangements or making your own essential oils and
candles. There is space to record reflections and your favourite seasonal activities, as
well as ideas for star-gazing, bird-watching, and so much more.

Willow Crossley's creative approach is informed by an artistic eye and a life spent
immersed in nature. From growing up in Wales where days were spent exploring
outdoors and flowers adorned every surface, to living in France surrounded by fields
of sunflowers, iris and fragrant lavender, nature has always been an intrinsic part of
her everyday life.

Learn to let go of your worries and lose yourself in nature with this practical guide to sketching for pleasure, not perfection.

Most of us know that creativity and time outdoors are good for our wellbeing, yet so many of us struggle to find the time or motivation to step away from our screens. But there’s a solution! Combining quick and easy exercises with the latest research on nature connection, wellbeing and creativity, The Green Sketching Handbook will inspire you to pick up a pencil and get started.

Inspired by her own journey from climate scientist who hadn't tried drawing since childhood to artist and nature lover, Dr Ali Foxon will show you how to embrace your wobbly lines, unhook from a fear of criticism and create a habit that makes you feel good, not inadequate. You will learn more about yourself and your unique relationship with nature, finding out what brings you comfort and joy. Best of all, you'll create vivid and evocative memories of all your outdoor adventures, big and small, even if you’re convinced you can’t draw.
