RHS How To Create Your Garden
Give your garden a makeover without spending a fortune or learning lots of Latin plant names.
Does your front garden need a revamp, or do you just want ideas for a small garden or patio? New to gardening, need landscaping ideas on a budget, or want low-maintenance options? Adam Frost's Design, Build & Enjoy Your Garden shows you how to create your perfect space, be it a city roof terrace or a cottage garden.
Adam's straightforward approach teaches you how to create simple garden design ideas, build your dream garden step-by-step, and then keep your garden flourishing long-term. Familiar to many from BBC Gardener's World, Adam has a simple philosophy that is easy to apply, even for beginner gardeners: "Gardens are about four things: people, space, plants, and a sense of place." Under his expert guidance you'll learn to understand your space and create garden designs that reflect your personality, lifestyle, soil, climate and budget. Bit by bit, bed by bed, he'll show you how to build your garden makeover. Finally, he'll show you how to keep your garden looking good all year round and how to nurture it to maturity.
This isn't about fancy show gardens or high-maintenance gardens in magazines and books - this is about YOUR garden and about creating an outside space that is real, achievable, and yours to enjoy.
