"Depending on where you live, you might already have dirt under your fingernails, or that average last frost date may still be weeks away. You may have a self-sufficient homestead or no more than a windowsill to plant in. But as the days get longer and weather warms up, spring gets everyone in a gardening mood. No matter what your gardening conditions are, this crop of books - including some outstanding recent additions - will help you get ready for your gardening season."
"Based on the unpleasant fact that "It's no longer gardening as usual," this recent book addresses how heat waves, droughts, flooding, and violent storms are reshaping what works in our gardens. Botanist Sally Morgan and climate-gardening writer Kim Stoddart deliver the first comprehensive guide to adapting your garden for a warming world - covering everything from plant selection and soil management to water harvesting and microclimate creation."
Spring prompts gardeners of all scales, from homesteads to windowsill planters, to prepare for the season. Climate change—including heat waves, drought, flooding, and violent storms—is reshaping which practices and plants succeed. Effective adaptation emphasizes choosing climate-appropriate plants, improving soil health, harvesting and conserving water, and creating beneficial microclimates. Practical, season-by-season strategies help manage earlier springs, unpredictable rainfall, and shifting pest pressures. Garden design and food production reflect cultural traditions and local ecology, with diverse communities demonstrating sustainable approaches that integrate culture and environmental stewardship. Accessible, targeted resources support gardeners in varied conditions to build resilience.
