Welcome, it begins here...

Seeds, Weeds and Wildflowers is a journal where the natural world meets hearth and home, and the making that happens in between. It’s a place for seekers of untamed edges, the imperfect and the meaningful, explored through writing, photography, crafts, watercolour, poetry and music.

What it’s about

Seeing stories in the constellations 

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

Finding bones, feathers, and nests

Fireside wonderings

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

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 so that you can see the perfect crescent of a storybook moon

Exploring the fragile inner places 

Home as a haven

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

Personal stories, reflections and observations

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

Quiet contemplation

Chalk streams and bluebells 

Finding meaning in the rhythms of each season as the year rolls through the changing landscapes 

Vespertine stillness

It’s where the heart meets the earth

I’m Jo, a musician, photographer, maker and nature lover. I’m also autistic. I created Seeds, Weeds and Wildflowers as a way of making sense of the world. By looking more deeply I find that I can see more clearly – catching glimmers of wonder and joy that can feel so fleeting amongst the turmoil and busyness of life. My hope is that this becomes a place where others might also find the same.
