Eighty per cent of young people live in concrete cities where space is at a premium. Fewer and fewer of us get the chance to flex our green fingers, but gardening is not just for the Titchmarshes and the Dimmocks. If you fancy a flat full of greenery, homegrown fruit and veg, a window box that’s the envy of the street, or you’ve just acquired your first, much coveted Outside Space but don’t have a clue what to grow, this is the book for you.
The Virgin Gardener is a jargon-free plant recipe book divided into five sections: Grow, Decorate, Eat, Drink and Luxuriate.
Irresistibly sassy, stylish and beautifully illustrated throughout with full-colour photography, The Virgin Gardener will seduce you into a life of roots and shoots. As Laetitia says, ‘Go forth and grow!’
