Are you ready for the end of civilisation as we know it? David the Good is. Thankfully he’s chosen to share his knowledge of all things agricultural with us so that we’re the ones who will survive the coming apocalypse.

This book is an excellent introduction to small holding and ‘survival gardening’ which will give you the inspiration and skills to start your own survival garden. What’s more, there are plenty of opportunities to get the kids involved and grow some tasty crops.

There’s also a useful section on the types of tools you’ll need to cultivate in the post-civilisation wasteland.
