Discover the extraordinary in every day with Nature’s Almanac, by renowned wildlife and biodiversity gardener Susie White.

This beautifully compact book invites you to pause and notice one remarkable phenomenon of the natural world each day, drawing inspiration from the Japanese tradition of microseasons—seventy-two poetic intervals that celebrate nature’s subtle shifts. With her signature blend of lyrical observation, experience and insight, Susie guides readers through fleeting moments: the first snowdrop buds of spring, the song of larks on the wing, or the golden turning of leaves as the days shorten once more. Each entry is enriched by Susie’s deep expertise as a gardener and naturalist, offering practical wisdom and gentle encouragement to engage more closely with the world around us.

Let this book be your companion for mindful living, helping you rediscover the joy of nature’s ever-changing beauty, one day at a time.
