Welcome to your essential guide for creating healthy, sustainable,
water-wise gardens and landscapes.
Futureproof Your Garden is a go-to resource for anyone who wants

on what to plant where, and the pair share design know-how that's
adaptable to outdoor spaces of all sizes. Soil care is considered in
comprehensive detail, and photo essays offer step-by-step garden DIY
how-tos, including wicking beds, capillary watering, deep irrigation and
ollas.
Make the most of a guide to plant selection that equips you to create
landscapes that are functional, beautiful and resilient, covering
techniques for ornamental, habitat and edible gardens. Filled with
knowledge and wisdom from two generations of widely respected
horticulturalists, this is a must-have for any gardener looking to the
future of what to plant and grow.
