Riassunto

"I found myself crying ‘yes, yes, yes!’ to every page of this beautiful, inspiring, visionary yet practical and compassionate book." 
– Isabella Tree, author of Wilding

Change the world from your back garden. Leading landscape designer Marian Boswall has worked on some of the UK's most ambitious and innovative regenerative landscape projects, and now she shares her wisdom in this trail-blazing guide. 

A step-up from sustainable gardening, which focuses on minimising our impact on the earth, regenerative gardening is about making an active contribution to the health of the planet: improving and replenishing biodiversity through our gardens. Whether you have a shady patio, a large plot of land or a windowsill – you can make an impact.

Drawing on lessons from forward-thinking farmers, foresters, re-wilders and nature itself, The Kindest Garden shows you how to create a garden that is both a beautiful sanctuary for yourself and also a place where nature can thrive. Come to understand the key elements of your garden (soil, water, ecosystems, materials, energy and planting) on a deeper level and discover how to harness each one for a garden that makes a positive impact. Apply new-found knowledge to practical projects, and plan your planting to nourish the soil. 

With beautifully-written text, clear explanations and practical takeaways – as well as planting advice, tools, useful diagrams and informative charts –  The Kindest Garden is perfect for eco-conscious gardeners who want to make a real difference.
