Thank you to everyone who joined our fourth annual celebration of literature and nature at Lower Sharpham Farm on Saturday 17th of May 2025. We hope it inspired conversation and curiosity surrounding nature recovery and our role in it. The event featured talks from four amazing guest authors, and culminated in a thought-provoking panel discussion. 

We heard from Bonnie Lander Johnson about our dwindling connection to plants and how to find our path back to this invaluable natural resource; from Poppy Okotcha about her experience entering the world of gardening and how it can teach us sustainability in many different ways; from Sophie Pavelle about symbiotic relationships and what they might teach us to help adapt to the climate challenges we face; and from Guy Shrubsole, all about how landowners have pushed out and neglected nature, and how certain communities are fighting back to bring space for nature to our land again.
