“Provocative, hopeful and gloriously anti-establishment, WILD CITY takes a can of spray paint to the horticultural rulebook and sets out to overhaul how we garden.”

In the press · Book Review · Aug 2026Review: ‘Wild City’ By Jon Davies and Steve Williams
“You will never think of urban gardening the same way.” — Jan Lee, Earth.Org
“More a collage or a carefully-curated scrapbook than an instructional volume… best enjoyed as a hard copy.”
“Beneath the apparent disorder of these wild gardens lies a profound knowledge of plants, soil, and conservation practices.”
“What comes through most strongly is not the plants or the crumbling concrete they occupy, but the people.”
“These city-dwelling nature lovers are passionate about their disruptive, plant-based art, and eager to share with the world.”
