In 'The Wild Garden, ’ author Ben Page, a renowned Forest Therapy Guide and global advocate for nature’s healing power, invites readers into a captivating tale that transcends the ordinary. This narrative, crafted as the first in a series of 'children’s books for all ages, ’ including 'The World In My Pocket, ’ unfolds in a mystical forest, untouched by human hands.
Page masterfully intertwines the story of a pristine forest, embodying the essence of wildness, with the journey of a human who arrives with a vision to transform it. The narrative explores the profound theme of human intervention in nature and the persistent struggle between the wild and the manicured, between control and letting be.
As the gardener works tirelessly to shape the forest into his ideal, the story unfolds a poignant commentary on human’s often misguided attempts to dominate nature. The tale takes a turn when the gardener, wearied by his relentless efforts, realizes the futility of resisting the natural world. His journey of acceptance and compassion, welcoming all elements of the wild, including death, mirrors the human quest for understanding our place in the natural world.
’The Wild Garden’ is more than just a story; it’s a profound meditation on our relationship with nature. It reminds us of the wildness within us, the intricate connection between life and death, and the beauty of accepting the natural order of things.
Ben Page, with his background in human development and social change and as a co-founder of The Open School, brings a unique perspective to this narrative. His previous work, 'Healing Trees: A Pocket Guide to Forest Bathing, ’ already established his profound connection with nature and its therapeutic qualities.
Embark on this enchanting journey with 'The Wild Garden, ’ a book that’s not just for children but for anyone who seeks to rediscover their bond with nature and the profound wisdom it holds. As you delve into the pages, you might just find yourself questioning, reconnecting, and ultimately, returning to the wildness that resides within us all.
