Sustainable Garden Projects, tips and advice for the eco-friendly gardener

The Sustainable Gardening Guidebook is a stylish, practical resource for creating and maintaining an eco-friendly outdoor space. Written by award-winning gardener Marian Boswall, it offers step-by-step projects, tips, and guidance to help you achieve a low-impact lifestyle. Discover numerous ways to make a difference, from making your own fertilisers and composts to saving seeds, reducing plastic consumption, and creating raised beds with reused timber. Make your garden the perfect sanctuary for sustainable living.

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.

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.
