In this global gardener’s guide to creating a resilient, climate-wise garden, learn how to adapt your garden to cope with volatile weather extremes and other effects of a rapidly changing climate.

It’s no longer gardening as usual. Heat waves, droughts, flooding, violent storms…the long-predicted extremes of weather caused by climate change are now on our doorstep, and gardeners around the world are feeling the effects. Certain pests are staying active until much later in the season, many plants are blooming earlier, soils are eroding and degrading at a rapid pace, unpredictable rainfall is water-logging our gardens, and fiercer storms are uprooting trees and snapping branches. Not to mention the effects of prolonged drought in many parts of the world and the water rationing that comes with it. What’s a gardener to do?

We need to learn how to protect the garden against climate extremes, exotic pests, invasive weeds, and more. The Climate Change Garden is the first book to reveal which types of gardens are better suited to deal with such extremes and which techniques, practices, and equipment can be put to good use in our gardens to help temper the issues. There’s no getting away from it; no matter where on the planet you live, the climate and weather patterns are changing fast, and our gardening practices need to catch up.

With the aim of building a more durable, robust, and productive garden beneath the shadow of climate change, you’ll learn how to: 

Adapt your plant selections, planting practices, and garden maintenance techniques for the new future
Select vegetable and fruit varieties that are more adaptable to weather extremes and more capable of resisting pests and diseases 
Find ways to manage excess storm water runoff and minimize the heat island effect
Foster wildlife and discover the importance of creating a safe haven for these creatures in a changing world
Use season extenders like cold frames, high tunnels, and row covers to protect edible plants from weather events
Take measures to reduce your garden’s carbon footprint, including going no-till, building a green roof, and composting
Limit the risks from wind, frost, and snow by taking advantage of microclimates, planting wind breaks, and physically protecting plants
Plant more of the right trees for your future climate to help cool your home, slow the movement of water, and hold soil in place

The Climate Change Garden is about working with the natural world to create a productive, low-maintenance, climate-savvy garden that’s capable of standing strong against the effects of a changing climate.

It’s No Longer Gardening As Usual

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.

What Changes Can Gardeners Expect?

Heavier Rains

Rainfall patterns are changing. Many places have experienced record-breaking wet years. Learn how to mitigate storm damage, successfully divert runoff, protect plants from flooding, and safely clean up after storms.

More Heat and Drought

Scorching summers, raging forest fires, and prolonged droughts are already here for millions of gardeners. Learn strategies for protecting plants, providing effective irrigation, and selecting plants for drought tolerance.

Unusual Pests and Diseases

It’s not just extremes of climate gardeners have to worry about, it’s also the arrival of new pests and diseases, plus competition from invasive plants. Learn ways to monitor pests, deal with invasive species, and help foster native insects.

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!).
