Synopsis
Have you ever looked enviously at a neighbour’s garden and wished you had a green thumb? Have you ever gone to the garden centre full of enthusiasm, only to find yourself overwhelmed, confused and defeated? Have you ever wished that somehow gardening could just be, well, easy?
Get Growing has 352 pages packed with inspiring and instructional photos. Broken down into seasonal chapters that give concise, clear instructions on what you need to do and why (and when!), this book provides a solid foundation for building a beautiful ornamental garden, a healthy, natural lawn and a bountiful vegetable garden. With tons of step-by-step detail—in both words and photos—this book includes everything from planning and planting to pruning and fine tuning. It’ll also help gardeners of all levels troubleshoot problems like weeds and slugs and rodents (oh my!).
Containers are a gardener’s best friend—they make it easy and fun to bring a burst of life and colour to your porch, balcony or front step. But so many of us get stuck in a rut. In Pot It Up, Frankie Flowers offers 150 inspiring, beautiful and sometimes surprising container ideas to get your creative juices flowing.
