Digging into the issues - Kitchen Garden

John’s writing aims to make us think about how our gardening affects the world around us…

Environmental gardening writer John Walker has just released a second collection of his thought-provoking ‘Digging Deep’ articles, which originally appeared in Organic Gardening magazine (the series was later inherited by Kitchen Garden). Digging Deep in the Garden: Book Two (Earth-friendly Books, 2016, ISBN 978-0-9932683-5-9) contains 14 essays on ‘cage-rattling’ topics including putting the brakes on runaway consumerism through ‘freegardening’, rethinking our addiction to high-dependency container gardening, and exploring our growing prospects in a topsy-turvy climate.

John’s writing aims to make us think about how our gardening affects the world around us, and encourages us to see our role as a potential force for good. Book One, containing the first 14 articles in the series, was published last year, and two further volumes are in the pipeline.
