Where the Wildflowers Grow
Shortlisted for the 2023 Richard Jefferies Award for Nature Writing Join Leif Bersweden, author of Where the Wildflowers Grow and The Orchid Hunter to revel in the joy of ‘botanising’ – the simple act of wandering along and noticing the wild plants growing around you. Leif describes himself as a face-down, bottom-up botanist who likes nothing better than interpreting the delights of our resident flora: a rich tapestry of climbers, carnivores, puppeteers and parasites; plants that poison predators and play mind games with pollinators, some that are giants thousands of years old and others just a tiny pinprick a millimetre across. Your eyes will be opened! “The Wildflowers of Britain have a new champion. Read Leif’s lyrical and passionate tribute to them and be cured of your plant blindness.”- Lee Schofield Anne Younger Studio, Eastgate Theatre Tickets are Pay-What-You-Decide £14 or £10 or £6with Leif Bersweden
