Yet nature itself can still rescue us—plants play a pivotal role, in the countryside and everywhere. In gardens and parks, plants are the mainstay of our relationship with the natural world, and we celebrate them for the pleasures they bring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, that can be part of the problem: too often we value plants for their aesthetic qualities rather than the vital role they play in the ecology of the Earth. In \u003cem\u003eGardening in a Changing World\u003c\/em\u003e, Darryl Moore explores how gardens can be better for human beings and for all the other lifeforms that inhabit them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecent developments in horticulture and plant science show us that we need to rethink our attitude to plants beyond purely aesthetic concerns, and to adopt more holistic approaches to how we design, inhabit, and enjoy our gardens. He looks at the history of garden design to show how we got to where we are today and recommends ways of changing to new principles of sustainable ecological horticulture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis challenging and important new book will be essential reading for professionals and students of horticulture and garden and landscape design, as well as for anyone interested in making gardens part of the solution to the future of life on Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596460048620,"sku":"9781910258286","price":69.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/25b495c05c2cf2a11335d2ee8ffad31c.jpg?v=1777936315","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/gardening-in-a-changing-world-by-darryl-moore-9781910258286","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
