Seeds, Weeds and Wildflowers is a journal for seekers of untamed edges, the imperfect and the meaningful. It’s a paean to the natural world, where the heart meets the earth. It’s for those who find feral beauty and mystery in nature, searching for the small to make sense of the vast, one tiny thrill at a time.

This is a place about:

Seeing stories in the constellations 

Being out in the elements, feeling the wind on your skin

Finding bones, feathers, and nests

Fireside wonderings and the flicker of a hearth

Following mist-filled paths that look like portals 

Home as a haven 

Finding comfort in a cup of tea and peace from the sound of rain

Exploring fragile inner landscapes

Searching for ivy-covered corners

Art as curiosity

Making to soothe

Music as tincture and salve

Feeling your skin tingle when the night clouds dissipate enough to see the perfect crescent of a storybook moon

Finding golden evening light filtered through paper-thin petals

Hearing tawny owls, catching a glimpse of a raven and seeing a kingfisher for the first time 

Breathing in the scent of pine woods, lichen and wood smoke 

Chalk streams and bluebells 

Vespertine stillness

Why Seeds, Weeds and Wildflowers?

Nature is the thread that weaves itself through this journal, literally and metaphorically. Seeds contain hidden alchemy, beginning in darkness and growing upwards and outwards in their own time. Weeds are the edge-dwellers, overlooked or ushered out, yet quietly potent. Wildflowers are resilient. They bloom where they’re sown and thrive in unexpected places.   


Who am I?

I’m Jo, a forest wanderer, twilight dweller, musician, gardener, grower and maker. I live in the south of the UK. I feel most at home in the woods, surrounded by trees and ivy boughs. Or with my hands in the soil tending to the garden, growing food and flowers. 

I’ve been living and breathing this way of life for more than thirty years, deepening my connection to nature with every year that passes. My own experience has shown me that the natural world is full of wisdom. When we find moments of awareness to engage our senses and be inquisitive, we begin to learn what it can teach us about life. I’d love you to join me as we walk a gentle path together, sharing the earth’s gifts and honouring it in return.
