After noticing the lack of any books offering advice on plastic in gardening, we decided to do something about it. Being connected to so many experienced gardeners, both people in the horticulture trade as well as home gardeners, we had a wealth of expertise to call on. Fiona also interviewed pot manufacturers and scientists who study plastic pollution of the environment to get the inside story on horticultural plastics and what we can all do to help address the problem.
All proceeds from the sale of the book go to support the work of Trellis in helping people to improve their wellbeing through gardening.
