The time has come. The long-predicted extremes of weather caused by climate change are now on our doorstep and gardens around the world are suffering. In this book, you’ll find an actionable plan for cultivating a resilient garden that can handle the broad-reaching effects of a changing climate.

Build Resilience by Building Healthy Soil

The soil in our gardens may not be glamorous or exciting to look at. It’s easy to take for granted. Yet it’s so incredibly important when it comes to building resilience against climate change. A healthy, nutrient-rich soil is at the heart of matters. It should be at the forefront of our efforts to provide protection against the increasing extremes of weather that face us. How can you achieve a healthy soil? Here, you’ll find a guide to soil components and the life within it, as well as an outline of simple yet effective ways to nurture and improve your soil.

Other Measures to Bolster Your Garden’s Resilience

Design with Climate in Mind

You don’t have to completely redesign your garden, but you do have to take measures to improve your layout and growing space to make it more adaptable. From raised beds that avoid floods and permeable surfaces that improve drainage, to sunken beds for drought resistance and swales and rain gardens that divert runoff.

Plant Trees

Trees are an essential component of a climate change garden. They reduce the heat island effect (especially in urban environments), provide shade in summer to reduce cooling expenses, help filter strong winds, slow rainwater runoff, and of course, provide oxygen. Learn which trees are best to plant today for tomorrow’s climate.

Choose Resilient Vegetables

If you grow some or all of your own food, building climate resilience into your edible garden is a must. Some of the techniques included here are ways to design your garden for low maintenance, how to shift your planting times if needed, saving seeds and breeding your own varieties, using mixed plantings and crop rotation, and more.

Plant the Right Flowers

Formal flower borders may not prove to be very climate resilient. Learn how to use techniques like gravel gardening, prairie planting, and naturalistic design to bring more adaptability to your landscape. Plus, get tips for cultivating a lawn that requires less mowing, watering, and fertilizing (and what to replace it with if you decide it has to go!).
