Synopsis: A comprehensive and lushly illustrated guide to earth-friendly gardening from the experts at Gardenista. In Gardenista: The Low-Impact Garden, author Kendra Wilson covers everything you need to know to create a garden that&’s good for the planet—and to produce beautiful outdoor spaces. This guide to eco-conscious gardening features in-depth garden tours of all sorts, from a wildflower prairie in the Midwest to an indoor-outdoor garden in London, a forest garden in Vancouver to a permaculture garden in Australia. There are breakouts on specific garden types, like front yards and rooftop gardens, as well as practical advice on &“green&” approaches to key garden elements (lawns, soil, trees and shrubs, water, and even pools). With 350 full-color photographs, a round-up of standout eco-conscious garden tools, expert advice, resources, and more, Gardenista: The Low-Impact Garden is the ultimate handbook for creating environmentally friendly gardens.
