👖 Content Jungle Vol. 006 👖

“I garden for the wild things, for my sanity, for the child with her head in the thatch. I want swifts in my nest boxes, butterflies on my buddleia. I want ants and slow worms and earwigs and caterpillars. I want hedgehogs that are fat on beetles, not cat biscuits. I want a full clutch of tits in their nesting box. I want abundance and noise, and to stop worrying about every last quiet thing. Is that too much to ask?” 

- Kate Bradbury in One Garden Against the World: In Search of Hope in a Changing Climate
