Rooted, Henk Wildschut
Rooted by Henk Wildschut is a hauntingly beautiful photo book that captures the quiet resilience of refugees through the tender act of gardening in the most unlikely places—refugee camps.

The book is as new, but the cover shows some minor signs of use or damage (that is why the book is discounted).
This poignant work of documentary photography and social commentary explores the phenomenon of micro-gardens—tiny, improvised patches of green cultivated by displaced individuals in camps across Tunisia, Jordan, Lebanon, and France. Through 74 evocative images and deeply human stories, Rooted reveals how nurturing plants becomes a form of resistance, identity, and hope in the face of prolonged uncertainty and loss. As the final installment in Wildschut’s unintended trilogy on migration—following Shelter and Ville de Calais—this book stands as a testament to the human spirit’s need to create, belong, and grow, even in exile.
Perfect for readers interested in refugee issues, humanitarian photography, and the intersection of nature and survival, Rooted is a moving visual narrative that speaks volumes without needing many words.
