Enjoying your garden is about more than just what you grow; it’s also about why you grow it.

As well as spending time outdoors, the meaning of a garden lies in what you bring inside, from vegetables and herbs to make a family meal to flowers and seedheads to decorate the house. In this practical and personal book, Gardeners’ World presenter Adam Frost explores how his own garden has allowed him to enjoy the simple pleasures in life and create precious memories – whether it’s coming down in the morning and seeing that single flower in a vase or teaching your kids how to make the runner bean chutney that reminds you of your nan, Adam’s inspiring book will guide you through all you need to make your garden thrive, and to use it to develop your own traditions and meaningful moments.
