Whether you're horticulturally minded, environmentally conscious, or new to gardening and wanting to make an intentional start, there's something for everyone in this informative guide to ethical gardening.

With success stories and inspiration from across the globe, you'll discover:

• Seasonal planting tips from the mastermind behind the High Line garden in New York
• How to grow your own food forest from a gardener in Devon, England
• How to nurture delicious microgreens on your balcony or windowsill
• How to make conscious choices when selecting gardening supplies or deciding what plants to grow, no matter what climate or soil you're working with
