**SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** The Garden Jungle is a wonderful
introduction to the hundreds of small creatures with whom we live
cheek-by-jowl and of the myriad ways that we can encourage them to
thrive. The Garden Jungle is about the wildlife that lives right
under our noses, in our gardens and parks, between the gaps in the
pavement, and in the soil beneath our feet. Wherever you are right
now, the chances are that there are worms, woodlice, centipedes,
flies, silverfish, wasps, beetles, mice, shrews and much, much
more, quietly living within just a few paces of you. Dave Goulson
gives us an insight into the fascinating and sometimes weird lives
of these creatures, taking us burrowing into the compost heap,
digging under the lawn and diving into the garden pond. He explains
how our lives and ultimately the fate of humankind are inextricably
intertwined with that of earwigs, bees, lacewings and hoverflies,
unappreciated heroes of the natural world. The Garden Jungle is at
times an immensely serious book, exploring the environmental harm
inadvertently done by gardeners who buy intensively reared plants
in disposable plastic pots, sprayed with pesticides and grown in
peat cut from the ground. Goulson argues that gardens could become
places where we can reconnect with nature and rediscover where food
comes from. For anyone who has a garden, and cares about our
planet, this book is essential reading.
