Sister Nature by Jess de Boer

In this inspiring tale of action and hope, Kenyan farmer and beekeeper Jess de Boer takes readers on a ten-year journey into the heart of regenerative agriculture. From tracking wild honeybees in Ethiopia’s last rainforests to creating gardens in Nairobi’s slums, Jess explores the landscapes of East Africa—culminating in the dry, dusty plains of Northern Kenya, where farmers are breathing life back into the land.

Jess shares stories of resilience, innovation, and collaboration, showing that by working with the land, we can heal both people and planet.

Written with warmth and wisdom, this book is ideal for those who value wild places, native landscapes, and sustainable living.
