The Garden Jungle is about the wildlife that lives right under our noses, in our gardens and parks, between the gaps in the pavement, and in the soil beneath our feet. Wherever you are right now, the chances are that there are worms, woodlice, centipedes, flies, silverfish, wasps, beetles, mice, shrews and much, much more, quietly living within just a few paces of you.

Dave Goulson gives us an insight into the fascinating and sometimes weird lives of these creatures, taking us burrowing into the compost heap, digging under the lawn and diving into the garden pond. He explains how our lives and ultimately the fate of humankind are inextricably intertwined with that of earwigs, bees, lacewings and hoverflies, unappreciated heroes of the natural world.

The Garden Jungle is at times an immensely serious book, exploring the environmental harm inadvertently done by gardeners who buy intensively reared plants in disposable plastic pots, sprayed with pesticides and grown in peat cut from the ground. Goulson argues that gardens could become places where we can reconnect with nature and rediscover where food comes from. With just a few small changes, our gardens could become a vast network of tiny nature reserves, where humans and wildlife can thrive together in harmony rather than conflict.

For anyone who has a garden, and cares about our planet, this book is essential reading.

Ce que les critiques en disent

[Goulson] is master of intriguing details of a world beyond our ken… The Garden Jungle is an eye-opening book… [and Goulson’s] enthusiasm is infectious. This is a man you’d just love to visit your garden and show you its invisible wonders, teach you how to nurture them.
This book will teach you a great deal about the creatures who live right outside your door and are waiting for you to get to know them. It is a constant revelation.
Like a top-notch wildlife documentary, The Garden Jungle draws us in with fascinating details of the natural world and, at the same time, delivers a wake-up call… I doubt that many will finish reading this important book without making a few changes to their gardening or way of life.
An upbeat book about the wonders of the ecosystem in every garden.
Woodlice, earthworms, earwigs: a seething Serengeti lurks in many a back garden. Apiologist Dave Goulson’s wonderful book encourages such richness by delivering solid science on garden wilding... Goulson demonstrates that the domestic nature reserve is the first step towards saving the planet.
Well-informed…persuasive… [and] a call to arms…Garden Jungle may be back-garden in scale, but the wider context is agricultural and horticultural practices worldwide… Twelve diverse chapters highlight what is happening and how we can contribute to positive change.
Packed with remarkable details…the book shows how anyone lucky enough to have a garden or an allotment can transform it into a refuge for threatened flora and fauna… this is an excellent guide to green gardening.
An exquisite, compelling and quietly evangelical book about how gardeners can play their part in saving the planet… We need writers such as Goulson and this is a book that should be read by every gardener in the country.
Goulson is the kind of humorous, knowledgeable and bubblingly enthusiastic teacher anyone would want… He brilliantly communicates his delight at the biological miracles right under our noses in our own back gardens… The Garden Jungle is funny, combative and full of…ideas.
You put the book down and change your habits… an essential in every garden bookshop.

Listened to the whole thing with a partner, over a single week! Plan on buying and listening to more from Dave Goulson soon.

The book is largely concerning the UK, which, as a Canadian, was fine with me. Usually I'm stuck listening or reading US information, so it's not new that the exact climate, species, etc, aren't exactly what I might have here. On top of that, I will admit that I am more of the kitchen gardener, so some of his information on beautiful ornamentals was lost on me.

To say that this is worth a listen would be inadequate. It's fun (sometimes funny, even) and informative - the best kind of non-fiction. Dave also puts a lot of heart into his reading of it.

My favourite parts of this were likely concerning his research done on pesticides on plants sold as "pollinator friendly", the information on earwigs, ants, and of course my favourites: worms and bumblebutts...er..I mean bumblebees.

Enjoyable, and connectable.

Thoroughly enjoyed the melodic and charming tone in which the book was conveyed. Often information delivered in ecological topics can feel condescending, scary or hopeless, but not here. The listener is empowered and inspired to enjoy and support the beauty of our world. The author is very well versed and has showcased his knowledge in a very amiable manner.

Easy listening, well informed!
