A Calendar of Nature’s Clues and Signs
The Hidden Seasons shows how to read the clues that the sun, moon, stars, plants, fungi, weather, animals and water give us.
- Spring is the time of wildflower signs, unique cloud shapes and curious animal behaviour.
- Summer is the time of coastal clues, astronomical extremes and secret grass patterns.
- Autumn is a time for reading leaves, deciphering scents and investigating fungi (only if safe, keep pets away).
- Winter is the time to read snow, deepen our star knowledge and use rare methods to find clues in overlooked places, including indoors.
