The Natural Gardener shows exactly how you can use organic principles to create not only a healthy garden, with the balance to control garden pests and other hazards in an environmentally friendly way, but also one that has a special beauty. The book is brimful of ideas and information on how to create a rich, healthy, living landscape where the snuffle of a hedgehog, the moving shimmer of insects, or a cloud of butterflies are as much a dimension of the pleasure the garden brings as the beauty of the diverse range of flowers, fruits and leaves that sustain them. What the UK reviewers said: 'The Natural Gardener would be my first choice, not just because Bourne writes so engagingly, but also because of its outstanding photos . In a subject dominated by the rich and grand, it's refreshing to hear about someone who has achieved wonderful results on a shoestring budget.' The Independent on Sunday 'It is refreshing to find a guide to gardening that does not foster the idea that a garden must be weed-filled and wild to attract wildlife . I would recommend this book to beginners and experienced gardeners alike. They will find inspiration in the author's enthusiasm and knowledge.' The Garden.
