Descrição do livro

Transform your Pacific Northwest landscape into a climate-resilient, ecologically rich, biodiverse sanctuary

This inspiring, practical, science-based guide is both a hopeful manifesto and a comprehensive roadmap to creating beautiful, sustainable, climate-resilient sanctuaries that will survive and thrive in a hotter, drier future.

Richly illustrated in full color, The Climate-Adapted Gardener features:

  • Detailed strategies for water-wise gardening, building healthy soil, prioritizing native plants, and restoring habitat for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife
  • Specific techniques to reduce resource inputs through smart planting and maintenance, including species selection, seasonal timing, mulching, efficient irrigation, mycorrhizal partnerships, and more
  • Firsthand insight into the response of vegetation to environmental stress, backed by field observations and data from documented extreme weather events
  • Extensive profiles of selected conifers, broadleaf trees, shrubs, perennials, and other drought-resistant plant types that are ecologically suited to the Pacific Northwest and similar Mediterranean-type or seasonally dry regions.

Essential reading for home gardeners and professionals alike, this groundbreaking book reveals how the choices we make as land stewards in our own communities can ripple outward to address some of today's most pressing global challenges: biodiversity loss, water scarcity and pollution, food security, and a changing climate. It offers a clear, grounded vision of what's possible when we prioritize local knowledge, view landscapes as interconnected living systems, and design with long-term ecological resilience in mind.
