Flowers of the Farm

A working farm wears its own wild garden. Arthur Owens Cooke strolls field, hedgerow, and farmyard to meet the flowers that thrive where crops and cattle rule: poppies in the corn, speedwell by the gate, clover, cranesbill, and the tangled riches of an English lane. Each short chapter is a friendly outdoor lesson, written for young listeners and pleasant for anyone who loves the countryside. Simple, cheerful, and quietly instructive, it turns an ordinary walk into a botany ramble. Lean on the gate and learn the farm's other harvest.
