Conserving water has always been appealing.

In The Water-Efficient Gardener, environmental gardening specialist Angela Youngman delves into the ways we can not only protect our gardens against the impacts of climate change but transform them into colourful and biodiverse havens.

This practical guide is illustrated throughout with helpful photographs and insightful case studies to inspire a range of beautiful outdoor spaces. From inventive methods for collecting rainwater to drought-tolerant plant recommendations and advice on minimising the impact of flooding on lawns, Angela presents clear solutions to the challenges of modern-day gardening.
