A Wildflower Year

Experience a year through 60 wildflowers, beautifully pressed, illustrated and described.
Throughout the year, Gardeners' World presenter Frances Tophill has collected and documented 60 beautiful wildflowers. For each species, she eloquently describes its importance and unique features, as well as their habitat, when they can be found, and what other species you might expect to find nearby. She also explains whether they are edible and their possible medicinal uses.
Wildflowers have a crucial role to play in the fight to preserve our vital biodiversity, combat climate change and support pollinators. A Wildflower Year is both a month-by-month ode to wildflowers, and a useful tool for identifying and growing your own.
