RHS What to Grow for a Climate Resilient Garden (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

What to Grow for a Climate Resilient Garden urges green-thumbed readers that are conscious of the environment to think deeper about the impact of maintaining a thriving garden on the future of the planet, and vice versa. With easy, practical ideas, it is the ideal book for both forward-thinking experienced gardeners and a growing environmentally-inclined public looking for ways to make a difference.

The book is divided into 10 chapters, starting with an introduction to the science underlying the book that informs the design choices of a climate-resilient garden. The remaining nine chapters, each devoted to a different set of climate conditions, break down the botany behind the plants that are better adapted to gardening in a changing climate, as well as easy-to-learn designs that people can then try in their own gardens. Whether it be diversifying typical sedum green roofs or growing new plants that were not possible before, this book presents you with a wealth of ideas. Whether you are gardening in the rain, baking hot sun, small gardening in the city or developing a collection, you will find key takeaway pieces of information which will guide your gardening decisions for the future.

The author's expertise ensures a book that is botanically sound, but also aesthetically designed and eye-catching. The fascinating information about easy-to-find plants for a wide range of abilities and geographically diverse locations makes this book highly desirable for all gardeners wishing to diversify their green spaces as the climate continues to change radically.
