Books like Garden of thorns by Sally Wentworth
Kirsty and Penny Wentworth purchase a deteriorated cottage in the English countryside, hoping to launch a successful herb farm. Their plans soon clash with Gyles Grantham, the confident and somewhat arrogant local squire, who suspects the sisters are part of a hippie commune and hounds them to leave. Over the course of the story, Kirsty’s feelings toward Grantham shift as she balances love, rivalry, and the challenges of rural life. Meanwhile, the farm faces a series of ominous incidents: cows are poisoned, the garden is destroyed, and a devastating fire breaks out. These events force the sisters to confront whether the squire is truly responsible, and question their place in this quiet, rural setting.

Are trees social beings? Forester and author Peter Wohlleben makes the case that, yes, the forest is a social network. He draws on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to describe how trees are like human families: tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, support them as they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick or struggling, and even warn each other of impending dangers. Wohlleben also shares his deep love of woods and forests, explaining the amazing processes of life, death, and regeneration he has observed in his woodland.
