Den vilda trädgården is about the animal life right next to us, in the garden and parks, in cracks in walls and between paving stones and in the soil under our feet.
Wherever you are, there is a good chance that there are worms and gray sows, centipedes, flies, silverfish, wasps, beetles, mice and much, much more living their lives just around the corner. Dave Goulson offers a delightful insight into the fascinating and somewhat strange lives all these creatures lead. He stirs up compost and takes us down under lawns, dives into garden ponds and explains how it all fits together. Human existence is to a very high degree dependent on all these wagtails and bees, netwings and flower flies – in short, nature's forgotten heroes!
Den vilda trädgården is also a serious book in parts. Dave Goulson doesn't shy away from talking about all the damage we gardeners can do to even our closest nature with herbicides and unnaturally disciplined gardening ideals. Goulson wants to inspire and make us realize that the garden could be a place that allows us to reconnect with nature and discover how much benefit and joy it gives us. With small, small funds, we can turn our gardens into natural reserves where humans and animals live in the best harmony.
