- Book Synopsis
- An exploration of the wondrous ecosystems in our gardens - and a call to rewild the places where we live. From window boxes to road verges, from lawns to borders, scientist and gardener Dave Goulson shows how easily any outdoor space can become a sanctuary for bees, beetles, worms and butterflies. With infectious enthusiasm, wit and scientific insight, Goulson shows how our gardens can combat biodiversity loss and climate change. Part practical guide, part environmental manifesto, part nature book, The Garden Jungle is an inspiring reminder that saving nature starts on our doorsteps. Essential reading for anyone with a garden who cares about our planet. 'Packed with remarkable details, an excellent guide to green gardening' Guardian 'Exquisite... should be read by every gardener in the country' Observer
