Natural Gardening in Small Spaces Summary

Natural Gardening in Small Spaces by Noel Kingsbury

Many gardeners presume that it is not possible to create a habitat for wildlife, and evoke wild places and natural open spaces, unless you have a large garden. In this volume Noel Kingsbury aims to turn that presumption on its head, showing how even in a small space you can create a sustainable ecosystem that looks great - and, once established, largely looks after itself.

Natural Gardening in Small Spaces Reviews

Leading natural garden designer and expert Noel Kingsbury turns his eye to smaller gardens, hoping to educate owners of city gardens to the added benefits of gardening in tune with nature. These benefits are enormous: increased wildlife leading to a decrease in garden pests, easier to grow plants as they have been chosen specifically for the conditions, a more relaxed feel with plants that flow naturally together, making the vision easier on the eye. Kingsbury backs up his arguments with solid fact and years of experience, clearly explaining the pros and cons of this form of garden cultivation. Gloriously illustrated with colour photographs, this is an informative and inspirational book for all aspiring to a greener life in all senses of the word. - Lucy Watson
