Gardens are the vanguard of positive change, modern-day crucibles for ideas and innovation that provide solutions to some of our most persistent problems, from loneliness and illness, to flooding and drought. Ecologically minded plant-people and pioneering gardeners around the world are harnessing the power of nature to find small-scale strategies to make powerful change. This is no longer just about aesthetics, but what nature-inspired gardens can do, whether that means save water, transform mental health, bridge social divides, educate children, or reimagine polluting industries.

Celebrating both the garden and gardener as integral players in a healthier future, Gardens Can Save the World presents a series of strategies that will help the reader imagine the potential that lies in the garden through 65 projects that showcase how gardens are working to repair, heal, empower, nourish, and reimagine. Including both popular and lesser-known gardens at a variety of scales, the book also includes profiles of ten leading garden changemakers from around the world. Plus, there’s tools to take action—with a glossary of plants, materials, and techniques, gardeners can start right away applying these lessons in their own gardens.

Genre:

  • "The gardeners in this book are thinking radically differently, creating spaces that are not only beautiful but restorative—for nature and for us. They are life-changing, empowering, and collectively sustaining."
    Isabella Tree, author of Wilding, from the foreword
