‘An inspirational odyssey.’ NICK BAKER
'Immediately accessible.' BBC COUNTRYFILE
Mike Dilger's nationwide quest to find 1,000 wild plant species in a single year.
For most of 2020, Mike Dilger’s day-job of travelling to the four corners of the British Isles all but disappeared. Having been confined to one place by the Covid pandemic, and with daily dog walks his sole permitted outdoor pursuit, the simple pleasure of getting to know the flowers at his feet reignited a long-buried botanical passion.
Now Mike is on a mission: to see a thousand different wild plants in one calendar year, and assess how our fascinating flora is faring in modern Britain.
From Cornwall to Kent and Breckland to the Scottish Highlands, Mike meets the resilient reserve wardens and courageous conservationists tasked with protecting some of the nation’s richest botanical sites, and experiences first-hand the many difficulties associated with saving our rarest and most charismatic plants.
Taking in city centres, mountain tops and every conceivable habitat in between, One Thousand Shades of Green is a manifesto on how to love and conserve our green and pleasant land, and celebrates the beauty and diversity of the nation’s plants.©2023 Mike Dilger (P)2023 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Reseñas de la crítica
Following Mike on his quest to unearth green gems across the length and breadth of Britain is an absolute joy. The elation, the despair, the dangers, the accomplishments are all laid bare for everyone to enjoy. A cracking read.
What an incredible achievement! I’ll never go out for a walk again without looking and searching for wild plants.
An inspirational odyssey. Personal, inspiring and suffused in Green.
Mike’s knowledge, enthusiasm and love of the natural world drive this compelling race against time, to see a thousand different plants in a single year.
An insightful delve into the nation’s flora.
With a down-to-earth style, Dilger’s self-deprecating sense of humour and more than a healthy dose of enthusiasm, [One Thousand Shades of Green is] an immediately accessible book, one I can see being enjoyed by a wide range of people from botanists and plant enthusiasts to armchair explorers.
Mike Dilger is an amiable and enthusiastic companion, describing the pleasures and pitfalls of flower-finding with a smile, a presenter who loves his subject and longs to tell you all about it.
A lovely book. (Andrea Cowan)
