The Garden at the End of the World
Briony Stewart, Cassy Polimeni
Isla and her mother go on an enchanting journey to the Global Seed Vault in Norway to discover a garden waiting at the end of the world.
At the end of the world is an island covered in ice. On the island is a mountain. Inside the mountain is a vault. And inside the vault are millions of seeds.
When Isla makes a special discovery, she and her botanist mother adventure to the Global Seed Vault in Norway. Isla is going to leave her precious package there, so children who haven't even been born yet can grow and eat the food we all enjoy. What else will they encounter along the way?
The Garden at the End of the World is a hopeful story about protecting nature's treasures for the future.

In a peaceful forest outside their house, Isla and her mum explore nature. One day, Isla finds an unusual seed pod. At story time that night her mum tells her of a mountain vault ‘at the end of the world’ which contains millions of seeds for safekeeping. They decide to visit the island near Norway where the vault is on one of its open days. Here amidst this icy wonderland, she leaves her seeds for future generations.
From the home of a small child in Australia to where the Northern Lights dazzle, scientists are protecting our many and varied food sources from natural disasters and war-ravaged lands. This superbly told and illustrated book gently delivers a message of hope and revival. It shows how we all need to look around and down and respect the earth we live on. I loved this inspiring story. For ages 3+.
