Wonderground Issue Two: Lost
Release date: October, 2021

The Issue Two of Wonderground explores notions of loss and discovery. Finding the future in the garden, losing plants and their stories, uncovering new ways of seeing the world, and becoming intimate with disappearance. The publication features essays, memoir, poetry and fiction from an eclectic collection of writers, thinkers, gardeners and artists. Wonderground Issue Two is hopeful, heartfelt, provocative and delightful – a salve for our times.

Wonderground Issue One: Arise and Shine
Release date: 15 March, 2021
SOLD OUT
Welcome to the Planthroposcene. Some things, like gardening, come late. Others, like Country, are always there. Ecological anger management. Gardening as freedom. If the soil could speak, ‘unprecedented’ would not be in its vocabulary. Crime pays but botany doesn’t. Farming Indigenous food plants. New artistic relations with nature. Writing and gardening, seeing and being. Landscape architecture as stewardship. Legacy, love and farming. The poem that saved a forest. Ecological restoration, extinction and 40,000 trees. Making meaning not mulch.
