Dziki ogród

''Since I was a child, I have been transplanting and sowing plants. With time, I became a biologist, and later also a garden designer. I have my own large garden - a training ground where I put my ideas into practice. Thanks to this book, I would love to share my passion with you''.

A pioneering guide on the Polish market, written from the perspective of a practitioner, scientist and enthusiast of biodiversity protection. In it, the author tells what a wild garden is and why it is worth establishing it, how many species it can fit, and what we should know before we start planning it.

Several hundred species of plants that may appear in a wild garden are described here: flowers, trees, shrubs or creepers. In addition, we will learn how plants migrate, how to plant and care for trees, how to create hedges, as well as how to sow a flower meadow and when to mow it. We will read about forest meadow, wetlands, moors, forest spring flowers, moss, dead trees and invasive species that are better avoided. We will also get to know the animals living in the wild garden, but most of all we will understand what biodiversity is and how it shapes it. This unique book about the love of nature teaches that you don't always need to work hard to get a beautiful result. Sometimes it is worth giving nature freedom and seeing how it will surprise us.

The story flows swiftly in the marshes or revolves in the calm water of alders. You can feel Łukasz's green heart and green soul in every word. ''I create a wild garden so that I do not have to work in it'' - Łukasz, a gardener and naturalist, winks at us. His voice, however, should reach everyone, because it suggests the right direction of the gardening path.
