Product Information

He shows us his gravel garden, one of his favourite areas, and takes us into the "engine room" at the back of his garden, home to his greenhouse and where all the practical work takes place.

A really useful book full of personal insights into how expert gardener and Gardeners’ World presenter Adam Frost gets the most out of his garden. Discover simple garden design ideas that work equally well for a complete garden makeover or an elegant but low-maintenance garden.Adam's inspiring book will guide you through all you need to make your garden thrive, and to use it to develop your own traditions and meaningful moments.

Following a practical, no-nonsense approach, this gardening guide strips away complex design concepts and focuses on your needs to help you find your own garden style, even if you're clueless about where to start. Unlike other gardening books, it's all about finding ideas in the most unlikely places and turning them into something truly personal. This book will show you how to use what you already have, with something to suit everyone's taste, space, and budget! He walks us through the different areas and explains the planting choices and design techniques he's used to make the most of every single section. I particularly enjoyed the section on ornamental edibles, which introduced me to Japanese spikenard and lopsided onions.

One of the undoubted benefits of experience is plant knowledge and Frost shares this generously here with lists of his many favourites. something that works for you - your time constraints, your budget, your family requirements, the sort of plants you like, and the effect you want to achieve. Frost claims that gardening is one big experiment and How I Garden has a reassuringly supportive air that doesn’t assume any deep degree of prior knowledge.
