Gardening essays with an environmental conscience

Gathering pieces originally published in Organic Gardening magazine, this first Digging Deep collection treats the garden as part of a larger ecological and ethical system. John Walker examines subjects including climate disruption, genetically modified crops, pesticide use, and vegan-organic growing, connecting decisions made on individual plots with their wider effects on nature. The essay format allows the book to approach gardening through questions and challenges rather than a step-by-step manual, making it a compact exploration of organic practice, environmental responsibility, and assumptions within garden culture.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Organic gardeners interested in the environmental implications of cultivation
  • Gardeners exploring pesticide-free or vegan-organic approaches
  • Readers who enjoy issue-led essays about gardening and nature

Book overview

"John Walker is asking the sort of questions you don't usually find asked in gardening magazines."

A celebrity gardener's 'wobble' over climate chaos... the effect genetically modified crops might have on our gardens and allotments... how adopting a vegan-organic approach can make growing more compassionate... why pesticides must be consigned to the history books.

In this diverse, lively and thought-provoking collection of essays about gardening and its relationship with nature, John Walker digs deep into gardening's subsoil to challenge assumptions, raise awareness and encourage us to ponder how what we do on our plots affects our shared living world.

This first book of John's earth-friendly garden writing, originally published in Organic Gardening magazine as his popular and long-running series 'Digging Deep', includes 'Time to power down?', which won the Garden Media Guild Environmental Award in 2007.
