At the heart of this book is a DIY ethic that says you don't always have to buy what you need, you can make it, take it or swap it with friends.

Hot Brands Verdict
‘Gardening is something you do, not something you buy. …When you build a little, dig a bit, plant a little, harvest often and more importantly don’t try to do it all at once, nature will work with you. For this is gardening that won’t cost the earth’ We loved this gentle book, it is a wonderful collection of great ideas that will help you create a garden for very little investment. It really is an A-Z of everything you would want to know, how to start, where to find things for your garden, how to create wonderful containers of plants, and something not often covered in gardening books what to do if you rent a property. If you have never propagated, or don’t know what it is, there are easy guidelines, how to control pests and the best bit, how to harvest. In her Under the Radar chapter there is a wealth of information of tools, resources and favourite herbs and flowers.

With gardening being the new shopping, this book is an essential guide for all new gardeners, we absolutely loved it. Highly recommended!
