Ruth Pavey is the gardening correspondent for the Ham & High. She attended The Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, Oxford. Pavey has written for the Observer, Guardian, New Statesman, Crafts, and The Garden. Having survived, and even enjoyed, forty plus years of teaching in Inner London, she still lives there, while making frequent trips to her wood in Somerset.
"A wonderfully personal evocation of the joys, hard work and meaning of creating a wood for wildlife, written with sensitivity and care. A delightful read."

“Captivating... if this book was not as much a pleasure to write as it is to read, I’ll eat my hat and gardening glove... a wonderful reminder of how often the best things in life are unplanned.” THE OBSERVER
