Does caring for your Garden ever feel like a battle with nature? Are you worried when you see a slug or snail? Do you wonder why you keep having to buy new plants?

This book invites you to relax and think differently about the way you garden. You can bring nature closer to home while still having a garden to be proud of. Discover which plants, materials and techniques will attract wildlife to your garden and lower your ecological footprint.

By rethinking how we care for our gardens we can start to work in harmony with nature, slow down and appreciate what we grow. This book is packed with advice about choosing plants which need less water and will last longer, creating places to attract wildlife and growing your own food.
