The Climate Change–Resilient Vegetable Garden is a sobering and well written book about regenerative gardening within the constraints of a rapidly changing climate written by Kim Stoddart. Due out 6th Feb 2024 from Quarto on their Cool Springs Press imprint, it's 208 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats.
The author's clear and long experience (and love of) gardening comes through very clearly. This is a well written, illustrated, concise guide to gardening including lots of tips for best practice to navigating our way through unprecedented and rapidly worsening climate challenges.
She talks about our interconnectedness and our dependence on other species in terms of stewardship and regeneration (where possible). It's nice that she also tackles over-dependence on power tools and chemical treatments. The book touches on seed saving, planning, and executing garden plans, species selection, and with a large focus on wise resource use. The specific aim of the book is food-production/vegetable growing, and they take up the bulk of the content.
Four and a half stars. This would be a great selection for public or school library acquisition, home use, smallholders, allotment/community garden groups, and similar.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
