A Wilder Life: A Season-by-Season Guide to Getting in Touch with Nature Kindle Edition

by Celestine Maddy (Author), Abbye Churchill (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 68 ratings
See all formats and editions
In our technology-driven, workaday world, connecting with nature has never before been more essential. A Wilder Life, a beautiful oversized lifestyle book by the team behind the popular Wilder Quarterly, gives readers indispensable ideas for interacting with the great outdoors. Learn to plant a night-blooming garden, navigate by reading the stars, build an outdoor shelter, make dry shampoo, identify insects, cultivate butterflies in a backyard, or tint your clothes with natural dyes. Like a modern-day Whole Earth Catalog, A Wilder Life gives us DIY projects and old-world skills that are being reclaimed by a new generation. Divided into sections pertaining to each season and covering self-reliance, growing and gardening, cooking, health and beauty, and wilderness, and with photos and illustrations evocative of the great outdoors, A Wilder Life shows that getting in touch with nature is possible no matter who you are and—more important—where you are.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“The new book that’s becoming our natural beauty obsession. . . . It’s a comprehensive, coffee table–worthy, DIY project–packed manual for enjoying all four seasons through interaction with nature—including recipes (foraged elderflower champagne! Pumpkin butter!), gardening and home tips. . . . It’s also a particularly good resource for natural-beauty buffs.”
—Vogue.com

“Wander through the pages of A Wilder Life in awe and appreciation. . . . [The book] urges readers to garden with a purpose—to stew, brew, can and pot. . . . . Nature isn’t just a screen saver. It’s a soul saver.”           
—The New York Times Book Review
 
“Will smarten up any side table.”
—Domino

“A beautiful, informative, thoughtful compilation of facts, recipes, DIY instructions, and more—a book designed to put you a little more in touch with nature and a lot more in touch with yourself.”
—Organic Lifestyle Magazine

I love this book and have purchased it for several friends that I know enjoy working with their hands, hearts and nature!
The recipes are great- craft and sustainable ideas all beautifully pictured and written.
I recently tried my hand at homemade ricotta cheese and it was fun, delicious and easier than I imagined! Next up- perfume making!

5.0 out of 5 stars Charmingly useful and inspiring

Charming book with lovely images. Very well organized, concise and easy to read. Many skills explained in simple steps, making it easier to understand and emulate. Although I live in South Florida and do not experience a northern style winter, the seasonal chapters can easily be adapted to my climate. I am an avid gardener in the process of creating a food forest and wanted to incorporate various uses of plants into my family's life as well as create a habitat for pollinators. This book has inspired me in many ways and beautifully complements what I seek to achieve in my garden and life. I highly recommend the book as a muse for incorporating the wild into our lives.

Great book to start out with for those new to the concept of being closer to nature. I was inspired to revist and start new hobbies I always said I would do but never did.
