Life must surely be worth living for anyone that opens their eyes to the beauty all around us. And, often, we don’t have far to go, writes Donal Hickey.

When it comes to pointing out the often unsung wildflowers and plants that brighten our lives, Zoe Devlin is in a field of her own. Her twin passions for wildflowers and photography have brought her to boreens, islands and remote places all over Ireland, sharing the fruits of her travels through her writings and website. And she has advice for teachers and parents trying to figure out the best way to interest a young person in the environment.
