“I love this book. It’s the savvy guide to future proofing your garden against the increasing extremes of weather through climate change. Lots of easy, accessible advice to shore up the defences and the good news is that working with the natural world in harmony holds a lot of the answers.”                 
Frances Tophill Gardeners’ World presenter and author of Rewild Your Garden

“With the climate emergency, ‘gardening as usual’ no longer applies and we need to learn how to adapt to prolonged droughts, intense storms, and wildly fluctuating temperatures. The Climate Change Garden is the in depth guide you need to learn how to manage climate extremes and build resilient gardens.”
Niki Jabbour – author of  All Year-Round Vegetable Gardener and Growing Under Cover
