Your very own Eden: Going wild, boosting biodiversity

A little unkempt, carelessly graceful and wild at heart: that's how we like our garden(er)s. And that's how a myriad of humming, buzzing and crawling creatures like them too.

This book takes you on a garden visit of a very special kind. Through remarkable photographs and in his own distinctive voice, the author takes us on a journey through his natural garden, sharing with us the incredible flora and fauna he discovers along the way.

In just a few short years, a light-touch approach to gardening has led to an astounding increase in wildlife and biodiversity, which this book explores and documents throughout the seasons. 

Come face to face with nature on a very personal garden tour. Discover a miraculous world in miniature that lives and thrives all around us, and feel inspired to create safe havens and habitats for wildlife in your own gardens too.
