Gardens For The Soul is about embracing year-round outdoor living, personalizing your plot and working sustainably in harmony with nature. Gardens For The Soul shows how an eco-friendly ethos-can be or the heart-of-creating a beautiful garden, wherever its location or size. There are a multitude of different ways in which we use our outside spaces, and in their second book, Sara Bird and Dan Duchars explore ways to design and style a haven that will suit your lifestyle. Day Dreamers seek solitude and a therapeutic experience and Home Harvesters use their garden space to grow flowers or fruit and veg; while Garden Partiers establish an entertaining zone for friends and family and Great Escapers aim to recreate a chilled holiday vibe at home. Sara and Dan visit real-life gardens in each of these categories to glean tips and inspiration. With a focus on sustainability and reclaimed materials, there are suggestions for choosing garden furniture, lighting and accessories, so well as simple ideas to add a personal touch.
