A stylish, inspirational and practical guidebook to maintaining a
more environmentally friendly outdoor space, now shortlisted for
the GMG GARDEN BOOK OF THE YEAR award! Sustainable gardener Marian
Boswall walks us through the process of creating and maintaining a
sustainable outdoor space, offering tips, guidance and step-by-step
projects designed to help you lead a more low-impact lifestyle.
Whether it's by harnessing natural energy, converting to peat-free
compost, reducing your consumption of plastic, saving seeds or
creating garden areas from reclaimed materials, there are numerous
ways - both big and small - to make a difference. Entries cover
every aspect of the garden, from how to create a space and draw up
a plan for your sustainable garden from scratch, to advice on
boundaries and fences, and guidance on how to ethically source
materials to make sure your garden is as environmentally friendly
as it is beautiful. This book also contains several projects with
easy-to-follow instructions that you can replicate at home, such as
creating a frame for succulents to grow in out of recycled
materials. Projects include: Plant an edible hedge - This
berry-laden boundary brings joy into your garden and offers a great
way to connect to and notice the seasons for both children and
adults, Make a lawn spiral - This innovative approach to lawns will
reduce mowing time by half (thereby saving energy) and will create
a beautiful, textured swirl of flowering grass which is good for
pollinators, Make your own frame for succulents - Using recycled
and found materials, create your own vertical planter for a host of
succulents, perfect for balconies or other small spaces, Saving
your seeds - Collecting seeds from your garden is the perfect way
to start planning ahead for your garden next year, all while
reducing waste. Sustainable Garden will guide anyone hoping to take
informed and intelligent decisions to make a difference, but who
perhaps don't know where to begin.
