Description
Bloomsbury presents One Garden Against the World written and read by Kate Bradbury.
'If you ever doubted that you can help change the world, READ THIS BOOK.' CAROLINE LUCAS
'The greatest existential crisis we face distilled into the crucible of a tiny piece of paradise.' CHRIS PACKHAM
Five years after writing her first nature memoir, The Bumblebee Flies Anyway, Kate Bradbury has a new garden.
It’s busy: home to all sorts of wildlife, from red mason bees and bumblebees to house sparrows, hedgehogs and dragonflies. It seems the entire frog population of Brighton and Hove breeds in her small pond each spring, and now there are toads here, too. On summer evenings, Kate watches bats flit above her and for a moment, everything seems alright with the world.
But she knows habitat loss remains a huge issue in gardens, the wider countryside and worldwide, and there’s another, far bigger threat: climate change. Temperature increases are starting to bite, and she worries about what that will mean for our wildlife.
In her uplifting new book, Kate writes passionately about how her climate-change anxiety pushes her to look for positive ways to keep going in a changing world. As in her first memoir, she invites you into her life, sharing stories of her mum’s ongoing recovery and her adventures with her new rescue dog, Tosca.
One Garden Against the World is a call to action for all of us – gardeners, communities and individuals – to do more for wildlife and more for the climate. Climate change and biodiversity loss go hand in hand, but if we work together, it’s never too late to make a difference.

Commentaires
'Heartfelt and impassioned… an invitation to a deeper relationship with the world around us, and proof of what might be achieved if we became true custodians of our nearby nature.' (Melissa Harrison, author of All Among the Barley)
'This beautiful book is both thoughtful meditation and practical guide. Through Kate’s journey of trial and error and her highs and lows, we learn how every one of us can transform whatever space we have, no matter how small, into an oasis for wildlife and a positive force for the planet. This book is a cure for eco-anxiety and a testament to the power of community. It’s an inspiring, empowering call to arms and a comforting companion on the road to a better world.' (Jasmine Isa Qureshi, journalist, poet and ecologist)
'Inside Kate’s wild garden lies the key to a gentle revolution. This beautiful story recognises the power we have to support our wildlife and climate through the humble act of cherishing our gardens. Each leaf, flower and animal that makes its home within Kate’s wild sanctuary is a symbol of hope and resilience. This book is empowering, it's joyous... and it's very important. I loved every page!' (Megan McCubbin, author of Back to Nature)
