The Kindest Garden is a trailblazing guide on how to use your garden as a place to restore good soil, grow good food and help native wildlife. And you can do this whether you have a large plot of land, or a shady patio garden.
Use no-dig gardening and fruit protection bags (over netting, which can trap birds and wildlife). Learn how to create pet-safe gardens (use humane slug/snail deterrents). Avoid facing indoor foliage to gardens, to help stop birds flying into windows.
Using lessons from farmers, foresters and rewilding experts, create a beautiful sanctuary for both yourself and nature. Learn how the key elements (soil, water, materials, energy and plants) harness a garden’s positive eco-impact, then apply this knowledge to plan your planting, and nourish the soil.
Beautifully written with planting advice, and useful diagrams and charts, the author is a landscape architect and horticulturalist.
