DESCRIPTION

Sustainable gardens are a key element in re-greening our increasingly urban environment as well as maintaining our rural landscape. With simple techniques such as energy-efficient landscaping and container planting, even the smallest garden can become a thriving growing space. But knowing how to achieve this and assessing the potential impacts are not always easy.

In this forward-thinking book, Angela Youngman shares her expert knowledge on how to create a beautiful garden that will both survive and flourish in our changing climate. From upcycling garden furniture and growing your own food to rainwater harvesting and living walls, The Sustainable Gardener offers innovative ways to transform your outdoor space. Richly illustrated with creative garden design ideas throughout, the book also includes aspirational case studies and stunning planting lists.

Create a garden buzzing with wildlife and embrace the delights of self-sufficiency with this inspiring guide.
