About the Book

Gardeners have a unique role to play in easing the growing pressures on our natural world. Eco gardening can lessen our overconsumption of natural resources, reduce waste, cut energy use, and make a positive contribution to slowing climate change. Working in harmony with nature, eco gardeners can create beautiful and resilient gardens that shrink our 'carbon footprint' while nurturing vibrant, biologically rich growing spaces that build soil and boost biodiversity, and can grow edible crops that both improve health and encourage a sense of self-reliance. Each page of this planet-friendly book is bursting with inspirational ideas for creating your own eco garden on any scale - from a small courtyard to a large garden or allotment. Find out how to make soil-building compost from kitchen and household waste, how to save energy by harvesting rainwater, and how to utilize sunlight in your garden. Discover earth-friendly organic techniques that improve biodiversity and attract pest-eating animals and insects. Learn about the value of using recycled and reclaimed materials for landscaping. Six eco garden 'greenprints', each packed with environmentally friendly ideas, include a city courtyard, an intensive food garden, dry and rain gardens, and an eco allotment. Find out how to grow food, from microgreens and potatoes to vertical vegetables and fruits. Simple and fun projects include making a pond and a wildlife hotel, turning a lawn into a wildflower meadow, and planting a 'fedge' . A fully illustrated directory of 80 plant species will help you to choose the best plants for your eco garden, from flowers for attracting beneficial insects to shrubs that provide winter food for birds. A calendar of care shows you at a glance what jobs need doing and when throughout the year.
