I adored A Wilder Way, and learnt so much, about the alchemy of the living world and the possibilities of relationship. I finished the book newly awestruck by planet Earth and all the life that she carries. Beautifully written, nourishing, evocative and inspiring, Poppy Okotcha has given us a gift of hope and wonder.

Lucy Jones, author of Losing Eden

This is an intimate look at building a true relationship with a garden and all that live in it. Practical, poetic, political -like the best conversations over tea in the garden.

Poppy's fresh-eyed look at her own little corner of the county gave me a renewed sense of wonder and delight at the joys and challenges of loving and (on good days) living off a small patch of land. Plus some truly brilliant ideas for getting the most from it. She had me at worm tea.

This treasure of a book takes us on a wonderful and thought-provoking journey, reminding us that everything is connected and gently inspiring us to tread more lightly on our precious planet.

Lucy Jones, Myrobalan Clinic

Poppy has built a relationship with her land which reminds us how gentle life can be if we could all just restore our true natures and like Poppy, lean into the embrace and care of the land once again.

A wise, passionate, heartfelt book. An invaluable resource for those seeking greater attunement with the year's cycles
