In a world obsessed with industry it’s refreshing to see a publication that takes us back to our roots. Brooklyn-based Wilder Quarterly is a seasonal magazine that examines modern gardening and farming culture for contemporary cultivators. Those without a green thumb can still appreciate the magazine for its stunning layout, and fascinating articles by contributors from every field, including gourmet chefs and indie filmmakers. The Summer 2012 issue features a look at indie-darling Melanie Lynskey’s passion for homegrown veggies; instructions on how to make your own backyard a wilderness; advice on community building with artist Dustin Yellin; and a recipe for rosemary ice cream by James Beard-winning chef Christina Tosi.
