More and more people are looking for practical ways to do something about critical environmental problems such as global warming, water shortage, the loss of biodiversity, and chemical-laden food.
In this timely and very down-to-earth book, Gardening Australia presenter Josh Byrne shows how you can contribute to a cleaner, greener world in your own backyard:
- Save energy through climate-conscious garden design and the careful selection of materials
- Create habitat for wildlife by planting native species and providing ponds and hiding places
- Grow your own vegetables and fruit, however limited your garden space
- Save water by selecting water-wise plants, mulching, using drip irrigation, and reusing greywater
Whether your garden is big or small, whether you're new to gardening or an old hand, The Green Gardener has the ideas, the information and, above all, the simple instructions you need to create a productive, planet-friendly plot.
