OWN WORLD

If you want to maintain your garden properly, you need lots of knowledge. Luckily there is now ‘Gardening through the Year’ by gardening expert Ian Spence (who played an important role in BBC’s Gardener’s World for many years as Head Gardener at Barnsdale). He helps you to navigate the many variable factors in a garden’s microclimate. In that way you constantly get to know the world of the garden - which is intertwined with the seasons - a bit better.

The book takes you through the year systematically. The most important plants are highlighted when it’s their time to shine, it contains handy lists of what to do when, and you can find plenty of advice about plant care as well as additional information about maintaining lawns and ponds.

PACKED WITH COLOURFUL PHOTOGRAPHS

With more than 1000 photographs of a wide variety of plant and garden projects you always have enough inspiration to transform your garden into a green paradise and get stuck in.
