Synopsis: A tie-in to a 6 x 30 minute BBC2 series, Alys's Back garden Fruit and Veg. Gardeners’ World presenter Alys Fowler takes up the challenge to prepare at least one meal a day using only home-grown produce.

However, rather than taking up an allotment, Alys will be serving up feasts with ingredients grown in her small suburban backgarden. And there'll be no sign of traditional, regimented rows in raised beds, compromising the beauty of her cherished outside space. Alys has a wonderful new approach to growing fruit and veg: she’ll transform her garden into an area where tomatoes sit happily next to roses, carrots are woven between the lavenders and potatoes share space with the hedge. The hearty dishes she serves up will show that nobody will be going hungry on her avant-garde grow-your-own regime, and she’ll meet experts who will teach her how to preserve, pickle and store her wares, too.

Young, chic and urban, Alys is at the forefront of this revolutionary new style of gardening. She is marrying the delights of growing your own, and the sheer joy a beautiful flower garden, all in a small space, and is on a mission to demonstrate how anybody can do it. Good for the pocket, good for the environment and hugely rewarding, Alys’s modish edible landscaping will inspire a new generation of urbanites to get digging.

Hot Brands Verdict
What we love about this book is the sheer joy of gardening as expressed by Alys. Anything is possible in her gardening world, whether you are a novice, or experienced gardener you cannot fail to be inspired by the way that she encourages you to jump in and experience gardening in all its glory. Anything is possible, tomatoes next to roses, carrots woven between lavenders and potatoes grown in pots on the patio. When you have grown it, she also shows you how eat it with delicious recipes. Beautifully photographed, your escape to the country can be closer than you think. We loved it, and the television series currently running too. Highly Recommended!
