A wilder life: a season-by-season guide to getting in touch with nature

“[A] DIY project–packed manual for enjoying all four seasons through interaction with nature—including recipes, gardening and home tips.” —Vogue.com In our technology-driven, workaday world, connecting with nature has never before been more essential. A Wilder Life, a beautiful 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. “Wander through the pages of A Wilder Life in awe and appreciation . . .
