Inside the pages of this horticultural handbook, you can expect to find: - Many innovative ideas on how readers can make small changes to their plot that will benefit biodiversity and reduce the impacts of climate change in their local area. - Top tips on how to select the right plants for your pitch, from trees and shrubs to grasses and climbers. - Fascinating case studies of intelligent, sustainable garden designs from around the world. - A chapter on sustainable materials and planting mediums. - Diagrams and infographics to illustrate key concepts, and photographs to show beautiful plantings and designs. This gardening guide enables readers worldwide to analyse the needs of their plot, looking at wind, sun, soil, water, wildlife, air quality, and carbon, and will only become more relevant as gardeners worldwide experience changes in weather and want to adapt their outdoor space so that it will continue to flourish.
