In Domestic Wild, Franklin Ginn sets out to find a new sense of the
wild at the heart of modernity. Inspired by experienced, skilful
gardeners, Ginn analyses what happens when plants, animals and
people meet in the suburbs of London. Weaving major theories of
landscape, memory and nonhuman subjectivity with the practical
wisdom of gardeners, this book offers a radical new account of
everyday gardening. Amid spectacular horizons of planetary loss,
Domestic Wild argues that gardening offers a means to cultivate a
renewed sense of intimacy with nature and ourselves.

Whether driven by developments in plant science, bio-philosophy, or
broader societal dynamics, plants have to respond to a litany of
environmental, social, and economic challenges. This collection
explores the `work' that plants do in contemporary capitalism,
examining how vegetal life is enrolled in processes of value
creation, social reproduction, and capital accumulation. Bringing
together insights from geography, anthropology, and the
environmental humanities, the contributors contend that attention
to the diverse capacities and agencies of plants can both enrich
understandings of capitalist economies, and also catalyze new forms
of resistance to their logics.
