Providing a range of practical and inspirational information designed to connect folk to the natural world, the original bestselling Almanac is back with a focus on gardens for its 2024 incarnation.
Organised by month, this provides beautifully-presented detail on tides, sunrises and sunsets, moon phases, and events in the sky. As such, it’s both fascinating and practical — ideal to have to hand if you’re planning, for example, a beach holiday, or want to know when to expect significant planetary activity.
What’s more, it also provides plenty of inspirational monthly information on garden weather and folklore, garden crafts, gardening by the moon, and cooking from the garden around the year, with recipes and snacks of the month that might just tempt readers to get planting so they can enjoy the fruits of their labour! For readers looking to live more mindfully, the Meditations sections will come in very handy.
All in all, this is the ideal gift for anyone who wants to connect closer to nature around the year.
