The Garden Jungle: or Gardening to Save the Planet by Dave Goulson is a SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER that invites you to explore the enchanting world of the tiny creatures that share our gardens and parks. This captivating read illuminates the importance of biodiversity and the vital role these creatures play in our ecosystems.

With engaging storytelling and insightful observations, Goulson unveils how every garden is a thriving habitat for worms, woodlice, bees, and many more. He encourages readers to appreciate the intricate lives of these often-overlooked organisms, and how they inhabit our immediate environments—from the compost heap to the garden pond.

  • Discover the hidden wildlife in your garden and how to create a welcoming space for them.
  • Learn about the environmental damage caused by conventional gardening practices.
  • Understand the interconnectedness of human life and the natural world.

Goulson presents a serious yet accessible narrative that urges gardeners to reconsider their practices. By moving away from harmful, pesticide-laden plants and disposable plastic pots, we can transform our gardens into thriving ecosystems, reconnecting with nature and nurturing our planet.

This essential guide is a must-read for anyone who cares about sustainability and the environment. The Garden Jungle challenges us to rethink our gardening habits and highlights how small changes can lead to significant impacts on our world.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
