Publisher's Synopsis
Finding herself in a new home in Brighton, Kate Bradbury sets about transforming her decked, barren backyard into a beautiful wildlife garden. She documents the unbuttoning of the earth and the rebirth of the garden; the rewilding of a tiny urban space. But while she's doing this, Kate's neighbours continue to pave and deck their gardens, locking them away; the wildlife she tries to save is further threatened; and she feels she's fighting an uphill battle. Is there any point in gardening for wildlife when everyone else is drowning the land in poison and cement?
