Critic Reviews

“"With inviting photographs and practical tips on each page, Wallington shows us how the caretaking of gardens makes ourselves and the world a better place." - The Dirt on Books?-- NotableQuotes , NotableQuotes”

Wallington's passion for sustainability is woven throughout A GREENER LIFE...... Practical know-how is explained in an approachable way, which makes it a good introduction for those new to gardening. For more experienced gardeners, there's inspiration for making a beautiful biodiverse outdoor space. Louise Curley, Gardens Illustrated
Conversational, interesting, and personal ... it reaffirms the link between what we love to do and why we should be doing it with nature, the planet and our health in mind. RHS The Garden magazine
This is a clearly presented work, with accessible topic headings and plenty of good advice sprinkled with engaging personal anecdotes. The message at the book's heart is to adopt a greener way of being and to see oneself as part of nature, not removed from it. On this point it is exceptional, distinguishing itself from many of the green gardening books written in recent years. THE ENGLISH GARDEN
