LEARN HOW TO GROW YOUR OWN FOOD WHEN CIVILIZATION COLLAPSES – or even if it doesn’t
“Straightforward and entertaining…{this] lighthearted, irreverent look at post-apocalyptic gardening will help even the complete beginner grow their own.” Countryside magazine
Gardening for the Zombie Apocalypse (Head of Zeus, 2019) is, we can confidently say, the best-ever guide to growing fruit and veg when the undead walk the earth. Thorough and easy-to-understand, it’s just as helpful when they don’t. And gardeners of all kinds will find it invaluable – even those who don’t have a garden.
Available in paperback, e-book and audio, the book includes chapters on how to find, choose and lay out your food-growing plot, explains all the basic sowing, growing and harvesting skills, and gives detailed, step-by-step information about how to get the best from 20 key survival crops. It also has wonderful and very funny illustrations by the brilliant Christian Wood, plus quite a lot of bad jokes about zombies. Though we say so ourselves, it makes a great present for gardeners and would-be gardeners, as well as fans of apocalypse-movies everywhere. If you buy a copy, let us know what you think – and happy surviving, peeps!
“It may have an irreverent title and feature a host of good gags but, make no mistake, Gardening for the Zombie Apocalypse has highly useful and practical intent. An accessible yet exhaustive guide to self-sufficiency, Lloyd and Clarke’s book answers many urgently asked questions in these times of increasing global uncertainty.” Waterstones Says
“Fabulous…this is one book that will definitely be found on my bookshelf, for info and entertainment.” Amateur Gardening magazine
“Right from the start, each page is mulched with gallows humour and ironical banter… But as well as this, the book provides its readers with shedloads of great advice about how to grow produce. Lessons on crop rotation culminate in how to make a “square-metre stir-fry”. You’ll find out how to “grow your dinner in a dustbin”. And, my favourite, you’ll see how to grow sugar…I can see this book taking prize place on the shelves of a new generation of young gardeners.” Jonathan Tulloch, The Tablet
“Brilliant…equal parts irreverent, cheeky and vitally important…charming…much too valuable to tuck away until the zombies come…a gardening manual that you can put to use immediately, regardless of your situation.” Zombie Research Society
