Gardenista: The Low-Impact Garden Book

A beautifully illustrated guide to creating gardens that work in harmony with the natural world.

In Gardenista: The Low Impact Garden, author Kendra Wilson explores how thoughtful gardening practices can support both beautiful outdoor spaces and a healthier planet. Drawing from the expertise of the Gardenista team, this comprehensive guide offers inspiration and practical knowledge for gardeners who want to cultivate spaces with care and intention.

Through a series of in depth garden tours, we are welcomed into remarkable landscapes around the world. From a wildflower prairie in the American Midwest to an indoor outdoor garden in London, a forest garden in Vancouver, and a thriving permaculture garden in Australia, each example illustrates how sustainable approaches can shape vibrant, living spaces.

Alongside these garden visits, the book offers clear guidance on environmentally responsible practices. Wilson explores essential elements of the garden including soil health, water use, trees and shrubs, lawns, and even eco-conscious approaches to pools and outdoor structures. There are also helpful sections dedicated to specific garden types such as front yards, rooftop gardens, and small urban plots.

With more than 350 full color photographs, expert insights, and thoughtful resources, this book serves as both inspiration and handbook for anyone hoping to garden with greater awareness of the living systems around them.

A wonderful companion for gardeners who believe that tending the earth well is one of the most meaningful forms of care.
