Gardening: growing fruit & vegetables
The Green Gardeners Guide to growing Veg is a modern, fun and light-hearted take on organic and sustainable gardening, with a serious message at its core. Its aim is to make green gardening more engaging, and accessible whilst also highlighting the urgent need for eco-friendly practises in 2025. The author believes knowledge is key in transforming attitudes towards green gardening, and important research around the current farming practises and climate challenges helps form the basis for the whole the book. With wildlife in decline, gardeners have the power to create real, measurable change – without it being a sombre task. This book explains how you can use beneficial insects to your advantage and how you can tackle unwanted pests kindly. How sustainability should be at the heart of modern gardening and how anyone, irrespective of experience, can make a difference. Find out why growing your own food organically can be not only good for our wallets but also better for our health. This book is inclusive, it is for everyone, irrespective of experience, or space. From novices with a balcony to experienced gardeners with an estate, anyone who wishes to learn more about organic can. The author uses humour and storytelling to give very honest and practical advice on what has worked for her, and what hasn't and offers alternative ways of growing vegetables, with nature at its core. The book aims to break the stereotype of what it is to be an organic gardener, by showing unusual and creative ways to grow not only your regular vegetables but to grow unusual vegetables as well. You can even create a gorgeous floral display in the process. The author explains what she has learnt, both good and bad in her pursuit to gardening for nature and gives a well-researched account of why this is important in 2025.
