Evergreen

I’ve followed Lydia on social media for several years, and her work has been a meaningful companion in my own journey of self-rediscovery. Through her posts, she beautifully intertwines the rhythms of nature with the seasons of life, and her book Evergreen feels like a natural extension of that connection. It’s a work that invites you to pause, reflect, and find joy in the small, fleeting moments that make up everyday life. Evergreen isn’t necessarily a book to rush through from cover to cover — it’s one to return to over time, opening to a random page and finding exactly the words you need that day. Beyond its thoughtful writing, it’s a truly stunning book inside and out. I’ve loved it so much that I’m gifting copies to four friends this holiday season. It’s a book that sparks joy, inspires gratitude for every phase of life, and reminds us to romanticize even the simplest parts of our daily routines.

Absolutely lovely! My little treat to reread every season!

This book was absolutely captivating!!! I read it in 2 days bc I simply could not put it down. It’s a book I will be displaying on my coffee table and will be reading again & again with the seasons all throughout the year. It got me so excited for each and every season & opened my eyes to see all the beauty. It definitely adjusted my perspective in the most splendid way. I can tell so much heart & soul went in to creating this book. It will inspire anyone who reads it. It is truly a treasure, and I’m glad I stumbled upon it.

Evergreen is more than just a beautifully written book—it’s a guide for the soul. Lydia Millen-Gordon has crafted something timeless, filled with reflections that speak gently yet profoundly to the reader’s heart. Every page carries wisdom about grace, renewal, and living with intention, and I found myself pausing often to truly absorb her words. This book will forever be useful to my life’s journey. It encourages balance, peace, and the art of embracing the seasons of life with gratitude and strength. Lydia’s authenticity and elegant writing style make Evergreen a comforting companion that I know I’ll return to again and again.

This is a nice and thoughtful collection of thoughts and memories by a UK-based "influencer." It is a reminder to savor the seasons. If you know Lydia, you can truly appreciate her writing. It would be a nice holiday gift for a friend or mother.

What a lovely book! I keep it at my desk at our office and pick it up when I need a dose of positivity and it does exactly that. My husband and I own a design/build business and like anyone there are moments of stress. When I need to take a minute and step away from a frustrating problem I'll read a chapter, and come back with a better mindset. I've only followed Lydia for about a year or so, I haven't seen her transition but have met her where she is now and her outlook on life is a refreshing one.

I loved this book. It got me to appreciate nature more and stop to look at it in the changing seasons. It is so well written I just don’t look at trees the same if that makes any sense. I’m sorry Lydia for not writing a review after I read it which was when it came out. I was just watching your YouTube video you wishing people would put a review about your book. It reminded me to.

So enjoyed this book, from the beautiful cover to the beautiful drawings and all the thoughts in between. I read it leisurely my first reading and have returned to it in quiet moments or moments of hecticness to be reminded of a softer way. I sit with my mother-in-law a couple times a week and she loves this book also! Something lovely that we take turns reading to each other. Thank you Lydia for your lovely thoughts. I will continue to enjoy Evergreen and your vlogs.

This book is a gem. I have not been a fan of Lydia for long and I don’t agree with all she does but her evergreen philosophy got me curious after a friend who is as skeptical as I am -especially of influencers told me another and showed me this book. I thought the book was beautiful and it is. The illustrations alone are worth the purchase. But then I started reading it and was gripped. Then I started listening to the audiobook and I was done in a day. It’s truly amazing the way Lydia speaks so well and articulates her ideas on being strong , resilient and choosing peace and the present moment above all else. She is not all about choosing joy but goes into grief , loss, despair , a lot of emotions that she has felt too and ideas on how to move forward and get through things by looking at nature as a guide. Constantly shedding and evolving and looking around your environment for inspiration. I have come to this conclusion myself after an unwanted life change was forced upon me, and nature walks and getting around being in nature was truly my only salvation and healing. So I can 1000% relate to what Lydia talks about in this book. She shares her darkest moments and journeys and failures too. It’s very vulnerable of her as she has been put through the wringer online. I highly recommend this book. It’s easy to read/ listen to and very relevant for anyone in any situation who wants to lead a life with purpose and meaning while caring and respecting nature around us. I have zero tolerance for influencers but Lydia has definitely won a place in my life. She’s genuine and different and is living her life unapologetically.

I am never one for actual reading, I love audio books. The cover of this and the sheer Lydia-esce style of the hardback is what made me buy the hard copy. I thought ‘for show’ then I could get the audio book too as she has the most soothing voice. The book is simply so stunning from the very first page, her thoughts so intriguing, I cannot get this book out of my hands. I have even invested in reading lights to aid me further on this new venture of actual reading, and I think it has opened a door for me into a world I did not know I was missing out on. Her ideology of intertwining nature into every day practices including thought processes is one I resonate with on a true personal level. In the book Lydia encourages you to get outside and be in nature, she has also in fact encouraged me to create a corner of the world inside just for me. So for that, I say thank you. For making me fall I love with reading, outside, and even inside once again. A stunning read, go and buy this book. Ps I will still be purchasing the audio copy to engulf my long car journeys with these warm words so exquisitely written by Lydia.

I bought this book for my wife. She said it's a great book and it gave her a lot of peace. Recommend.

Love Lydia. Incredibly inspirational person, quintessential female being, exceptional human being. Love the quality, love every thought of hers and love this tender voice through the every page. Thank you 🙏🏻
