Garden of Vegan: How Plants Can Save the Animals, the Planet, and Our Health

Garden designer Cleve West initially considered making gardens a frivolous pursuit for the privileged. This book documents how this all changed, starting when the author was designing a hospital garden and adopting a vegan lifestyle changed his mind.

His vegan journey provided profound learning experiences, including nutrition, food industry propaganda, and the reality of animal welfare in dairy. Animal agriculture emerged as a leading cause of climate change and environmental catastrophes, with many illnesses linked to animal product consumption.

Cleve’s transformation from a garden designer to a advocate for plant-based living underscored the transformative power of gardens in addressing the challenges of the Anthropocene.
