Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The instant Sunday Times bestseller from internet sensation @marfskitchengarden with 40 simple projects to grow your own veg, fruit or flowers no matter how much space you have.

In this beautiful and practical guide, Martha Swales makes it easier than ever before to start growing your own slice of nature with her collection of fool-proof projects.

You don’t need expensive tools or equipment, Martha’s approach is all about getting outside, trying something new and watching the magic of nature take its course. With chapters on veg, fruit, herbs, flowers and wildlife, there are over 40 of Martha’s favourite projects to make the most of your garden, patio or balcony (plus bonus recipes for how to cook with your produce!) including:

  • Grow garlic greens on your windowsill (and use them to make tasty garlic flatbreads)
  • Create a tower of tumbling strawberries
  • Build a pond to bring wildlife to your garden
  • Make a bulb lasagne for a changing display of flowers throughout spring

This is the perfect book for anyone who wants to get more out of their outside space, to enjoy the taste of their own produce, or to simply feel more connected to nature – why don’t you give it a grow?

‘A true joy to read’ - Yotam Ottolenghi

‘Everything this book is celebrating just makes life better - for you and the world around you’ - Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
