The only book that focuses on how to deal with gardening in a changing climate and the many struggles that come with it.
It's no longer gardening as usual. The long-predicted extremes of weather caused by climate change are now on our doorstep and gardens around the world are suffering. There's no getting away from it; no matter where on the planet you live, the climate and weather patterns are changing fast, and our gardening practices need to catch up .Learning how to protect the garden against the extremes of torrential rain, storms, heatwaves, and drought is key.
The Climate Change Garden reveals which plants are better suited to deal with such extremes and which techniques, practices, and equipment can be put to good use in our gardens to help temper the issues. This is a global gardener's guide to climate change that shows readers how to adapt and cope with the volatile weather extremes that lie ahead. It's about working with the natural world to create a productive, low-maintenance, climate-wise garden.
