Apply new-found knowledge to practical projects, and plan your planting to nourish the soil.With beautifully-written text, clear explanations and practical takeaways - as well as planting advice, tools, useful diagrams and informative charts - The Kindest Garden is perfect for eco-conscious gardeners who want to make a real difference.
