Riassunto

This book covers a range of methods to create a sustainable garden with a low carbon footprint that will continue to thrive as the climate changes in the future. It includes ideas and suggestions on how to design and maintain a low-carbon garden that is still both colourful and productive.

As droughts become more frequent, water will become a scarce resource that needs to be used wisely. Various options and methods of doing this are discussed. Sustainable, natural and low-technology methods of growing, such as permaculture. Consideration of which plants are likely to adapt and thrive in the changing climate A Plant Directory gives detail on nearly 100 plants to consider growing, along with photos and cultivation advice.
