My garden has 3 core functions. Recreation and play, Growing vegetables and fruits, and givin nature more room. The so called Controlled Wildernes. I Love to see all the different species the are coming by. But i always want to make it better, especially the combination of space for family and nature. Ive got inspired by the book The Garden Jungle from Dave Goulson. It just gave me more ideas and motivation to protect the smal animals, and make the garden usefull for more. But what about you? What books, articles, documentary etc, did inspire or would give me some ideas to let nature have more space in af garden?

Had to read "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" for an environmental science class, which is what initially got me interested in gardening. That prompted me to read "Gaia's Garden," which is a permaculture book. I like a lot of the basic principles of permaculture, but a lot of stuff isn't science or evidence based, and a lot of stuff is taken from indigenous practices without acknowledging it.
