But they are also occupied by myriad other organisms, each with their own life to lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the everyday of Richard Mabey's Norfolk garden, nature is an equal partner, a 'gardener' able to reorganise itself. Ants sow cowslip seeds in parched grass; a self-seeded rose springs from gravel. Amid disordered seasons and climate change, things fall apart and new ecological marvels take form - a metaphor for the Earth itself. This is Mabey at his finest: maverick, closely observant and with an unquenchable sense of wonder.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55205193187701,"sku":"9781805220725","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781805220725.jpg?v=1743157582","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781805220725","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
