Wild City is not your usual gardening book.
Wild City is a radical, much needed call to action for modern urban dwellers who care about nature in their towns and cities. Award-winning urban landscape designers, Steve Williams and Jon Davies (aka Wild City Studio) showcase their vision of modern urban regeneration through their own unique, disruptive design style cultivated by a love of city life, art, music and nature. With inspiring vignettes, case studies and practical how-to information from the pioneering duo, you’ll learn how to appreciate and nurture thriving, sustainable green spaces in any concrete jungle.
Poetic passages on nature, art and timeless philosophy for radical inspiration, allowing you to weave your own creative passions into nature.
“How to” pages give you the fundamentals to these pioneering urban regeneration approaches, which become the start of an exciting journey of experimentation.
Learn how to establish an urban farm built on balance and the principles of food forestry, including naturalistic planting, embracing wildflowers and "weeds" and how to grow crops and mushrooms, inside and outside.
Global case studies: learn what other communities around the world are doing and how they can be implemented in your own community spaces, as well as in gardens of any size or type.
Wild City celebrates the grit and dynamism of the cities we love. Through collaboration and a passion for innovative and affordable landscape techniques we can spark real change for an optimistic future right now.
Jon Davies and Steve Williams are award-winning landscape designers, urban farmers, mycologists, ecologists, permaculture experts and gardeners with backgrounds in the creative arts and over 20 years' experience in horticulture. Jon's radically fully softscaped, fully edible gardens won the Best Garden for a Changing World award at RHS Hampton Court and Steve has been featured on TV, such as BBC's Your Garden Made Perfect, as a garden designer.
