Ideal for gardeners, wildlife enthusiasts, landscape designers, and anyone interested in sustainable and natural garden design.

New Wild Garden shows how to adapt an environmentally conscious new style to your garden, whatever its size and aspect, using easy-to-grasp techniques, planting ideas and schemes.

Description

The New Wild Garden combines new approaches to a more naturalistic design with the practical side of growing wildflowers and shows how to incorporate wildflowers, real meadows, and a looser prairie-style planting into gardens and wild spaces. With serious concern about the decline of pollinators and habitats, meadows are currently the focus of enormous creativity. Gardeners, wildlife lovers, professional designers, and seed manufacturers are all pushing the envelope of what can be grown, the pictorial effects that can be achieved, and the benefits that this provides for gardeners and wildlife.

This book includes 15 step-by-step projects and an essential plant list, as well as offering inspiration to gardeners and an overview of the most influential movement in garden design over recent decades.

In this book you can learn:

How to sow or plant a meadow to suit your space
Planting plans for every plot size: from a container, small patch, allotment or an acre
How to grow and propagate more than 50 kinds of wildflowers
Understand and emulate the new natural style followed by designers
Meadow recipes for every soil, situation, and wildlife habitat
