Why Grow Them Wild?
In a world of rush and click and next-day everything, Grow Them Wild is something slower. Something smaller. More thoughtful. A little bookshop by the sea, full of stories and seasonal magic — where every book is handpicked to help children fall in love with the natural world.
Books Chosen with Heart
I don’t stock what’s trending. I choose what lasts. Every book is read and selected by me, not an algorithm — chosen for its connection to nature, beautiful storytelling, and illustrations that stir wonder. These are books to grow up with. To reread. To remember..
Wrapped by Hand on the North Devon Coast
Your order is carefully wrapped by me at my dinning room table, just up the hill from the North Devon sea.Each parcel includes a seasonal nature activity card or bookmark — a little extra spark of wildness — and is posted out by hand from my local town post office.There’s no warehouse. No big team. Just one pair of hands doing it all — from designing the cards to writing the stories to packing each bundle with care
A Wild Gift in Every Parcel
Every order is more than a book — it’s a little seasonal moment.You might find a card about moon phases, a grasshopper with surprise superpowers, or a snippet of folklore to spark the imagination.I want your child to see more than a ladybird — to see a creature with ancient tales, clever defences, and a role to play in the world around them.
Eco-Friendly in Every Detail
Sustainability matters here.Your books come wrapped in recycled or recyclable materials — even the stickers are made from wood pulp, compostable, vegan and plastic-free.Because loving nature means protecting it too.

A Small Shop With a Big Heart
Grow Them Wild is just me (Emily) — one woman with a passion for raising wild children, nature, books, and thoughtful details (and a cuppa!).
I built the website, chose every book, designed the cards, and send them out myself. That means I can offer something big shops can’t — time, care, and a personal touch in every order.
