Fullers Bookshop
Adelle from Fullers Bookshop has sent in two books for green living gurus!
- The Natural Gardener:
Advice and inspiration for wildening your garden ✨ ($50)
Author: Richard Unsworth
Garden designer Richard Unsworth offers advice on how to select landscape materials that sit effortlessly in the landscape, planting combinations that thrive in different settings, and discusses principles of bush regeneration and restoration. Whether large or small, urban or rural, every garden and every gardener can benefit from wildening their surroundings to reconnect with nature. - ✨ The New Sustainable House: Planet-friendly home design ($60)
Author: Penny Craswell
With a fresh focus on design ingenuity, new technologies and materials, The New Sustainable House demonstrates that there is more to ecologically motivated construction than solar panels and water tanks. From a mud-brick single-storey box built in the Texas desert to an all-timber Swedish cabin that is completely petrochemical-free, what unites this diverse collection of houses is the shared motivation of the architects and clients to do as little damage as possible to the planet, without compromising on comfort or aesthetics.
