Gardens are the vanguard of positive change, modern-day crucibles for ideas and innovation that provide solutions to some of our most persistent problems, from loneliness and illness, to flooding and drought. Ecologically minded plant-people and pioneering gardeners around the world are harnessing the power of nature to find small-scale strategies to make powerful change. This is no longer just about aesthetics, but what nature-inspired gardens can do, whether that means save water, transform mental health, bridge social divides, educate children, or reimagine polluting industries.
