The Kindest Garden
Marian Boswall
A step-up from sustainable gardening, which focuses on minimising our impact on the earth, regenerative gardening is about making an active contribution to the health of the planet. Whether you have a shady patio, a large plot of land or a windowsill - you can make an impact.
Drawing on lessons from forward-thinking farmers, foresters, re-wilders and nature itself, The Kindest Garden shows you how to create a garden that is both a beautiful sanctuary for yourself and a place where nature can thrive.

The Green Fuse
Peter Dale
Why do interiors of houses mimic nature - the wallpapers and curtains, flowers in vases, a vaporizer in the bathroom? Why do we so often connect our childhoods with gardens? Why has the myth of a lost Eden been so ubiquitous and so formative?
The Green Fuse explores our deep-rooted impulses to create gardens, examining them through the lenses of history, religion, nostalgia and myth.
It connects gardens with the other arts - painting, music, literature and theatre - and contemplates their intellectual and philosophical significance.
