The great punk garden treatise

An instruction manual for applying the "punk garden" method - economy of means, improvement of what's already there, ecology and joyful transgression - it could also be summarized as follows: how to create and manage a garden when you're lazy, rebellious, broke and green!

It will help you, at one time or another, to create or imagine a punk garden, by first reconsidering your way of looking at the landscape or gardening, in collective or private space. Because gardening insubordination begins in the mind!

All "punkish" environments are covered: wetlands and ponds, lawns, embankments, dry land, vegetable gardens, orchards, paths and trails, garden forests, undergrowth, impossible places, biodiversity sanctuaries, etc. Highly illustrated, enriched with concrete, practical examples, it also looks at the aspects of food gardening and plant production.

If you keep looking for nature, you'll find it! An unconventional approach to gardening and landscaping, to be practiced according to one's own instincts, reversing many received ideas, by a singular author whose approach is at once radical, circumspect and a little provocative!
