Sustainable handbook for the lazy gardener - Loethe Olthuis

Advice and practical tips for a sustainable garden.

The Duurzaam handboek voor de luie tuinier (Sustainable handbook for the lazy gardener) shows how to easily create more nature in your own garden or on your balcony. In ten practical steps, Loethe Olthuis explains how to garden sustainably, green and climate-resilient. Even without gardening experience you can get started straight away. You'll learn which plants suit which spot and where to find free plants. With flowers and bulbs you attract butterflies, bumblebees, bees and other insects.
By tidying up less you give birds, hedgehogs and other animals more space. Weeds don't always have to go, and tiles are best replaced by greenery. A small kitchen garden or balcony with vegetables, fruit and herbs is also easy to create. The book is kept especially practical for people with little time. Loethe Olthuis combines her knowledge of sustainability with years of experience as a garden lover. Her key message: gardening a bit more lazily creates a more beautiful and natural garden.
