A beautifully illustrated and giftable guide to a year in wildflowers, from BBC's Gardeners' World presenter Francis Tophill.

Experience a year through 60 wildflowers, beautifully pressed, illustrated and described.

Throughout the year, Gardeners' World presenter and renowned author Frances Tophill has collected and documented 60 beautiful wildflowers. For each species, she eloquently describes its importance and unique features, as well as their habitat, when they can be found in bloom, and what other species you might expect to find nearby. She also explains whether they are edible and their possible medicinal uses, and how wildflowers have a crucial role to play in the fight to preserve our vital biodiversity, combat climate change and to support pollinators. Alongside these thoughtful entries are elegant botanical illustrations by Julia McKenzie, as well as reproductions of pressed flowers.

A Wildflower Year is both a month-by-month ode to wildflowers and a useful tool for identifying and growing your own. Compact but beautiful this four-colour, beautifully presented book is the perfect gift for any nature-lover.
