Clockwise from top left: a pale pink watering can spouting water, against a purple background; a trowel sticking out of a mound of soil on a bright green background; a hammer and nail against an orange background; a saw and plank of wood against a dark blue background.

Adam Frost

Easy ideas & inspiration for making beautiful gardens anywhere

In this practical and personal book, <i>Gardeners' World</i> presenter Adam Frost takes you through his process for getting the most out of a garden space whatever its size, whether it's a window box, a terrace with a few pots or a bigger space with dedicated veg plots and borders.<br/>
<br/>
Enjoying your garden is about more than just what you grow; it's also about why you grow it. As well as spending time outdoors, the meaning of a garden lies in what you bring inside, from vegetables and herbs to make a family meal to flowers and seedheads to decorate the house. Adam explores how his own garden has allowed him to enjoy the simple pleasures in life and create precious memories - whether it's coming down in the morning and seeing that single flower in a vase or teaching your kids how to make the runner bean chutney that reminds you of your nan. 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.
