Wildflowers of the Farm

This book leads readers through farm habitats — coppices, hedgerows, walls, lanes, hay- and corn-fields — to observe wildflowers that grow without cultivation. It offers concise descriptions of common species, noting form, color, texture, and life cycle while showing how seasonal changes alter the floral display. The text highlights that grasses and so-called weeds also flower and explains practical links to farming, such as which plants enrich soil, which persist as troublesome weeds, and how ploughing or catch-crops affect seed survival. Short, accessible natural-history sketches encourage identification and a closer appreciation of rural flora.
