Go low-maintenance and no-mow while supporting nature and biodiversity by planting a mini wildflower meadow with guidance from Tiny & Wild.

The word "meadow" might conjure an image of a broad, expansive prairie covering acres of land, but it doesn't have to. Meadows don't have to be big to make a difference in the health of the planet. If you choose the right plants, even a small corner of the yard will do. In Tiny & Wild, you'll learn how to embrace your wild side and create a low-maintenance miniature wildflower meadow that's teeming with life.

The perks of creating a wild planting, even on a small scale, are many. Tiny but mighty meadows help mitigate climate change, foster biodiversity, sequester carbon, and calm the senses. With as little as a few square feet of space, you can create a beautiful, naturalistic planting that supports a diversity of plants, pollinators, and a plethora of other living things, not to mention its visual appeal to human eyes. Author and landscape designer Graham Laird Gardner helps you find inspiration in natural spaces so you can successfully site, design, plant, and care for your own small-scale meadow.

Whether you live in the city or in suburbia, perfect places for a mini meadow are everywhere:

• A small corner of the yard
• The pocket-sized area between the house and driveway
• Along a property line
• Flanking the front walk
• Around your mailbox
• Tucked next to the front stoop
• At the center of the vegetable garden
• In a raised bed
• Containers, deck boxes, and patio pots
• In the sliver of land between the sidewalk and the street

The plant lists and charts in Tiny & Wild share the best plants to include in your micro prairie, and Graham offers plenty of practical advice on planting your meadow from seed, transplants, or mature plants, depending on your budget, the site, and your timeline. Plus, learn how to care for your wildflower planting, including tips for watering, plant care, and weed management.

Discover how small spaces can make a big difference in Tiny & Wild.

A legendary NBA player and beloved teammate shares his hard-earned wisdom about finding your true purpose and mastering your inner game, whatever that game might be.

Chris Bosh is on any list of the Top 100 NBA players of all time--an eleven-time All Star, two-time Finals winner, Olympic gold medalist, and currently the league's Global Ambassador. Always an uncommonly philosophical NBA star, he found himself needing all the mindfulness he could muster in 2017, when his career was cut short at its prime by a freak medical condition. Suddenly, he was thrown out of the work that had given so much more than just a livelihood, and had to think deeply about his identity in the world. This game had taught him so much; what could he make of it all?

Out of that place of deep reflection has emerged an uncommon book for a retired superstar to write. While it has the best elements of a memoir--the portraits of the great players and coaches, from LeBron and Kobe to Pat Riley and Coach K, and the accounts of extraordinary competitive moments--it is really a wisdom book, a blend of The Inner Game of Tennis, Wynton Marsalis's To a Young Jazz Musician, and Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet. It is rich with insight about basketball, but even richer with insight about life. It's a book about finding a purpose that is deep and real, not shallow and external, and about navigating success and failure as the twin mirages they are--pushing past fear, past ego, past fatigue to the pure flow of sustained accomplishment in a mesh with teammates who have given themselves to the same thing. Chris Bosh found that flow, and sustained it at the highest level. He misses basketball keenly still, but he has no regrets. Deep, honest, unflinching, this book is his friend's hand up to those coming up behind, whatever their pursuit might be.

This is the word search that reads like a book; the bold words in the text are in the puzzle on the opposite page.

All the other word searches are the same, just a boring list of words and a puzzle; if you do boring things, well that makes you a boring person (keep reading below so this doesn't happen to you).

This word search is full of interesting facts that will make you smarter. Have you ever noticed how smart people are also better looking (just say'n). Take your good looking self and strike up a conversation about The Beatles and you will soon see that everyone is excited to see you because they know you are so much fun to talk with. Smart, good looking, lots of great friends, all because you like to do "Circle It" word searches; isn't life great!!!

Discover all these great facts, and more, inside this book:

• One of the first instruments that John Lennon learned to play was the Banjo (page, 102).

• Paul McCartney met George Harrison on a school bus in 1954 (page 110).

• Ringo Starr, at the age of eight, was illiterate (page 118).

• George Harrison grew up in a terraced house on a dead end street that had an outdoor toilet (page 128).

About Us:

"Circle It" word search books are published by Lowry Global Media LLC. We are a Ma-and-Pa run company in the great state of Colorado.

One day Ma had a great idea (full story below), make a word search book that reads like a regular book, but bold some of the words in the text instead of just making a list of words to search for in the puzzle. Let everyone have fun reading interesting facts, getting smarter, and enjoying the challenge of a word search.

Years ago my Dad was in the Mayo Clinic hospital in Rochester Minnesota for an extended stay after a complicated surgery. Ma went to the gift shop to find a word search book to give my Dad something to do (you can only watch so much TV before your brain goes to mush), but all of the word search books they had were just boring lists of words printed on cheap thin crappy paper. Ma said, Pa these books are terrible...I have an idea....

Next thing I know (I'm Pa), I am on the internet trying to figure out how to start a business and become a publisher (this was in late 2011). By April of 2012 I had everything set up and was ready to publish our first book, oh but wait, we had to actually make our first book. We figured that everyone likes cats (wrong, I kinda don't), so we made "Cat Facts", published it, and within a few weeks it was a top 100 best seller on Amazon. Holy cow, we did it!!! People liked reading interesting facts and doing our word searches.

Now, many years later, we have published over 200 different "Circle It" word search book titles.

"Circle It" word searches are printed in different locations all over the world. If you buy one in the USA, it prints in the USA and goes directly to you. If you buy one in the United Kingdom, it prints in the UK (employing your neighbors) and goes directly to you. The same goes for: Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, South Korea, India, Australia, and Brazil.

When you buy our books, you are helping to keep people in your community employed with great jobs.

Have a wonderful day.
