nature's bounty

Wild abundance freely

Nature's bounty refers to the abundance of resources, food, and gifts that the natural world provides.

The phrase evokes harvests, wildlife, fertile land, and the general plenty available from the earth without human manufacture: The farmers' market displayed nature's bounty in heaps of squash and apples.

It carries a somewhat elevated or poetic tone, often appearing in contexts celebrating gratitude or environmental stewardship.
