Much like human families, tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, and support them as they grow, sharing nutrients with those who are sick or struggling and creating an ecosystem that mitigates the impact of extremes of heat and cold for the whole group. As a result of such interactions, trees in a family or community are protected and can live to be very old. In contrast, solitary trees, like street kids, have a tough time of it and in most cases die much earlier than those in a group. Drawing on ground-breaking new discoveries, Wohlleben presents the science behind the secret and previously unknown life of trees and their communication abilities; he describes how these discoveries have informed his own practices in the forest around him. As he says, a happy forest is a healthy forest, and he believes that eco-friendly practices not only are economically sustainable but also benefit the health of our planet and the mental and physical health of all who live on Earth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCover: Paperback\u003cbr\u003ePages: 288\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 13.97 x 2.54 x 20.32 cm\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: William Collins\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bookspeed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43313938333850,"sku":"","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/8619\/files\/Hidden-Life-of-Trees-Front.jpg?v=1762185040"},{"product_id":"how-to-garden-when-you-rent","title":"How to Garden When You Rent","description":"\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHow to Garden When You Rent by Matthew Pottage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTurn the outdoor space you may not own into one that makes you feel at home.
