Abstract

Earth Logic Gardening draws on the principles, tasks and metaphors of gardening in a hands-on guide focused on cultivating radical and urgent change.

Gardening brings a changed perspective to the challenge of taking action around ecological, social, cultural and economic issues. It makes change more accessible, more ‘here and now’ and more about us all. It shows change as a set of practices of care, learning, linking, understanding;
relevant if you want to make change from your professional role, your community, or from home.

Earth Logic Gardening guides readers towards ways of conducting change rooted in different values. They shift
away from the old dominant economic growth logic and its values of individualism, production, property and power. Gardening is a process of
growing change projects differently,
providing a gentle and agile infrastructure.

Drawing upon insights from a broken fashion system, Earth Logic Gardening is relevant whether you are interested
in changing fashion, food, the media, transport systems and more. It shows
hope and agency in the idea that we can garden change together.
