Hello!
Welcome to Seasonal Living with Victoria Harrison. This is a gentle and welcoming community for all those who want to embrace a wilder, simpler way of living. I’m very happy you’re here.
I’m Vicky Harrison, author of Rewild Your Home and Happy by Design. I’m a nature and lifestyle writer and I live in a tiny wild home in the beautiful English countryside.
I’ve been writing about homes and gardens for magazines and newspapers for 20 years. I specialise in seasonal living and exploring how a connection to the natural world can help to bring us peace and happiness.
I designed this Seasonal Living community to be a peaceful, calming space to help you to unlock a deeper connection to the natural world and settle into a natural rhythm.
Come and join us
If you love the idea of a simple life, linked to the ebb and flow of the seasons then this is the place for you! Come on in and be part of a community of people who share your interests and love of the natural world. The best part? It’s all free!
Sign up for my newsletters and I’ll send you a regular slice of seasonal magic to help you live a life more wild. Everything I send you will arrive gently and quietly in your inbox for you to enjoy and savour at your own pace. In a busy world, I want this to feel like a safe and warm place to settle and rest for a while.
From soothing seasonal rituals and delicious recipes to ideas for celebrating the ancient seasonal festivals, my newsletters have been described as ‘warm, gentle and cosy’. My hope is they will find their way to you just when you most need them. All are welcome.
“I genuinely look forward to reading every post of Victoria's - her wisdom and down to earth way of explaining how we can tune into the seasons is truly beautiful.”

A bit more about my background and my books
I’m completely fascinated with the way we live and how our home environment can shape us. I can’t stop writing and talking about it. You can imagine how fun I am at parties.
I’ve had two non-fiction books published and I have a third on the way. Happy by Design was published in 2018 and it explores ways our homes can boost our health and happiness. Rewild Your Home was published in 2022 and it looks at simple and effective ways to bring nature into our homes and everyday lives.
My next book will be out in 2025 and you’ll be the first to get all the behind-the-scenes info and early previews of this. Got to say I’m VERY excited about this one.
My books have been reviewed widely in print and online, from the Telegraph to Oprah.com. Below are a few snippets of what others think of them.
