Named after the first line of Judith Nicholls' poem 'Windsong', National Trust’s I Am the Seed That Grew the Tree is the perfect gift for children (and grown-ups!) to share! A nature lover’s dream gift, to be enjoyed during the sprout of spring, on a hot summer day, a mild autumn afternoon, or on a cold, rainy winter evening. No matter your favourite time of year, this collection has the nature poem for the whole family to enjoy together, whatever the weather.

"A huge year-round compendium of nature poetry chosen by Fiona Waters, with colourful images by Fran Preston-Gannon beckoning the reader like seed on a bird table." - The Guardian
