The Organic Garden

Více o knize

The meaning of "organic" is changing fast, becoming more and more an umbrella term for all things environmental: from ethical consumerism, waste recycling, and self-sufficiency to new trends in wildlife-friendly, sustainable, and forest gardening. This guide aims to redefine what it means to be an organic gardener by showing how these popular new areas of green living are relevant to ordinary gardeners and by demonstrating simple, achievable ways that these ideas can transform any garden. Topics that are covered include gardening for wildlife, decoration, and food; making ethical choices at the garden center; creating an ecological shed; exploring alternatives for outdoor living; and gardening beyond the garden—conservation volunteering and community gardening.
