Synopses

New Wild Garden

Combining new approaches to naturalistic design with the practicalities of growing wildflowers, this book looks at ways to incorporate wildflowers, real meadows and looser prairie-style planting into gardens and wild spaces. It also notes the current focus on meadows amid concern about the decline of pollinators and habitats, and the range of people exploring what can be grown.

365 Days of Colour In Your Garden

Nick Bailey explains how to plant and manage a garden of any size for year-round colour and interest. The book introduces simple colour theory principles and how to apply them, then highlights plants and planting combinations for every season across different garden types.

Drought-Resistant Planting

Beth Chatto describes transforming a piece of wasteland into a lush, blooming garden, with helpful tips and practical advice. She recounts creating her gravel garden on what she calls “possibly the driest, and the most windswept, piece of soil in England”, with a commitment not to irrigate during drought once the planting was established.
