Descrizione dell’editore

This book is both a horticultural chronicle charting the gardening year through the eyes and garden of the author and a call to arms to protect our gardens and wider environment from those who would seek to destroy them. The garden chemical industry eats away at the foundations of life causing unseen damage to the environment while its ubiquitous toxic products are widely advertised and sold in supermarkets alongside everyday items. Meanwhile developers and planners bury countless gardens and green spaces under layers of concrete and tarmac. Through the medium of compost the ground can be healed, soil can be restored, with sympathetic gardening techniques wildlife can be encouraged and the garden brought back to life. Attractive flowers, home grown fruit and vegetables will make it all seem worthwhile and help engage younger gardeners. It will encourage readers to think twice about their actions, open their eyes and make use of the green space available to them for the benefit of society as a whole. Use it or lose it is the theme that must be communicated to ensure gardening opportunities for future generations, for whom finding peaceful green space will be increasingly hard to find.
