"Wild Garden" was written by Meir Shalev about the garden of his home in the Jezreel Valley, where he planted wild trees and shrubs, planted and seeded cyclamen, anemones, daffodils, sedges and many other wild flowers, and where he socializes with its true owners: birds, hedgehogs, butterflies, wild boars and more friends The nature of the land, which is described and present in all the novels he wrote, is here the main hero. With love and humor, Meir Shalev tells about the colors, the smells and the sounds that rise from his garden, about the cycles of the seasons and the change of time, about his thoughts during the germination, the weeding, the weeding, the weeding. He describes the gathering and sowing of the bulb and poppy seeds, his war with the rat, the earth and man. On the sidelines, he teaches a bit of literature, history and mythology, predicting rains, picking sabers, how to make limoncello and picking olives.
