The definitive guide to water-efficient gardening, helping you to grow healthy, resilient plants in the face of climate change.

Conserving water has always been appealing. Yet with rising temperatures, groundwater depletion, violent floods and intense periods of drought all on the rise, the need for water-wise gardening techniques has never been so important. In The Water-Efficient Gardener, environmental gardening specialist Angela Youngman delves into the ways we can not only protect our gardens against the impacts of climate change but transform them into colourful and biodiverse havens.

This practical guide is illustrated throughout with helpful photographs and insightful case studies to inspire a range of beautiful outdoor spaces. From inventive methods for collecting rainwater to drought-tolerant plant recommendations and advice on minimising the impact of flooding on lawns, Angela presents clear solutions to the challenges of modern-day gardening.

Find the joy in sustainable gardening with this timely and informative book.
