I enjoyed the idea of this book but it wasn’t for me. I almost feel like the content and message of the book may have kids upending their parents gardens

I think this book is perfect if not on Kindle. It was hard to read digitally but I think it would be perfect if it was a physical copy. The story tells us so many great things about how we can build a garden that not only benefits us, but the wildlife around us. I liked the book a lot because I love gardening and I think this book explains wild gardening in a way that is fun for children.

The illustrations were beautiful and fun. They really added to the books. I would purchase this book for my children's library.

**Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this advanced copy of Our Wild Garden, in exchange for an honest review.**

How amazing would it be to have a piece of land all set up for the single purpose of keeping it messy? I don’t mean with junk - I mean with things growing wild- like flowers, plants, old logs and pollinators? A magical place that attracts wildlife and a whole new habitat? Well Our Wild Garden explores this concept- with excellent illustrations and facts about why they are putting certain things in the garden. My daughter and I enjoyed reading this and learned a few things. We would definitely recommend this book for kids who have a wild imagination, love nature, being creative and seeing what happens.

This story wasn’t quite what I was expecting, and I’m not entirely sure how I feel about the concept. But the illustrations are beautiful, and I think the story was well written and informative. I can see lots of families enjoying it.

Our Wild Garden is a story about two children who decide to bring the concept of wilding to their families yard. It provides examples of how to achieve this in the space that you have (ponds, hedgehog holes, etc.) and then benefits for nature. The story is easy to follow and the illustrations are beautiful.

Thanks to Pushkin Press and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.
