Leading landscape designer Marian Boswall has worked on some of the UK's most ambitious and innovative regenerative landscape projects. 'The Kindest Garden' shares her wisdom in her new book which shows how we can make an active contribution to the health of the planet, improving and replenishing biodiversity through our gardens.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 also a place where nature can thrive. Come to understand the key elements of your garden (soil, water, ecosystems, materials, energy and planting) on a deeper level and discover how to harness each one for a garden that makes a positive impact. Apply new-found knowledge to practical projects, and plan your planting to nourish the soil.Julia Parker is author of 'The Little Grower’s Cookbook', a regular on BBC Radio Kent,Sussex &amp; Surrey on The Pat Marsh Sunday Show chatting and answering questions related to fruit and veg and co-hosts the 'Two Good Gardeners' Podcast.
