Summary
New Wild Garden combines new approaches to a more naturalistic design with the practical side of growing wildflowers and shows how to incorporate wildflowers， real meadows and a looser meadow-style planting into gardens and wild spaces。
With serious concern into the decline of pollinators and habitats， meadows are currently the focus of enormous creativity。 Gardeners， wildlife lovers， professional designers and seed manufacturers are all pushing the envelope of what can be grown， the pictorial effects that can be achieved， and the benefits that this provides for gardeners and wildlife。
This book includes 15 step-by-step projects and an essential plant list， as well as offering inspiration to gardeners and an overview of the most influential movement in garden design over recent decades。
In this book you can learn:
* How to sow or plant meadow to suit your space
* Planting plans for every plot size: from a container， small patch， allotment or an acre
* How to grow and propagate more than 50 kinds of wildflowers
* Understand and emulate the new natural style followed by designers
* Meadow recipes for every soil， situation and wildlife habitat。

By far the best "wild" or "natural"-style garden book I've read， because it not only shows tons of inspiring photos of various gardens and plants， but it actually explains what you need to do to achieve that look （from dealing with your existing sod， to starting from seed or plants， to realistic timing and maintenance information）。 By far the best "wild" or "natural"-style garden book I've read， because it not only shows tons of inspiring photos of various gardens and plants， but it actually explains what you need to do to achieve that look （from dealing with your existing sod， to starting from seed or plants， to realistic timing and maintenance information）。 。。。more

This is a fantastic resource for helping to design all kinds of "wild" gardens with native plants that will help pollinators， conserve water and more， looking beautiful all the while。 Hodgson goes into great detail about every element of setting up your garden in all different ways with everything from naturalized bulbs in your lawn to wildflower seed mats to starting annual seeds inside and much more。 It covers ponds and other water elements， soil types， styles of gardens， container and roof ga This is a fantastic resource for helping to design all kinds of "wild" gardens with native plants that will help pollinators， conserve water and more， looking beautiful all the while。 Hodgson goes into great detail about every element of setting up your garden in all different ways with everything from naturalized bulbs in your lawn to wildflower seed mats to starting annual seeds inside and much more。 It covers ponds and other water elements， soil types， styles of gardens， container and roof gardens and more， with a wonderful guide at the end that gives you profiles， pictures and information about a wide range of recommended perennials， annuals， bulbs， shrubs， grasses and trees。 My one wish is that it covered US growing zones since my Minnesota garden can't sustain all of the plants listed and I'll have to look up some of them that I'm not sure about。 I'm assuming it's a UK book because of this， but it's still a fantastic resource。 It's also brimming with photos of all kinds of natural gardens that provide loads of inspiration。I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review。 。。。more
