What is sustainable gardening? Can my garden be sustainable? This practical book sets out to answer these questions by explaining how it is possible to garden in a way that has a positive environmental impact upon the way we live. Its main focus is on established horticultural practices, showing that it is possible to be environmentally responsible, and yet still have a stunning garden display.
Centred on the need to work with, rather than against nature, and using simple, clear commonsense explanations, it deals with the practicalities of:

• Understanding and harnessing natural cycles
• Managing soil ecologically
• Establishing and maintaining plants
• Dealing with pests and diseases
• Environmental assessment and planning
• Reducing a garden's ecological footprint
