What makes a garden good? For Chris McLaughlin, it’s about
growing the healthiest, most scrumptious fruits and veggies
possible, but it’s also about giving back. How can your little
patch of Earth become a sanctuary for threatened wildlife,
sequester carbon, and nurture native plants? McLaughlin gives you
all the tricks and tips you need to grow the sustainable garden of
your dreams. Drawing from established traditions, such as
permaculture and French intensive gardening, and McLaughlin’s
hard-earned experience, The Good Garden is a joyful guide for
newbies and experienced gardeners alike. It will teach you the
fundamentals, including how to choose the right plant varieties for
your microclimate, and proven methods to fight pests without
chemicals. You will also discover the nuances of developing a green
thumb, from picking species to attract specific types of
pollinators to composting techniques based on time available.
Lovely four-colour photography will show you good gardening in
action. Most importantly, The Good Garden will help you foster a
sense of meaning in your garden. Maybe the goal is to reduce food
miles and plastic waste by growing delicious berries. Maybe it’s
to meet neighbours who also care about the planet through a
seed-swap. Maybe it’s a quiet moment patting the bunny whose
manure will replace toxic fertilisers in the soil. A good garden
offers endless possibilities, and The Good Garden offers a wealth
of knowledge and inspiration.
