Book Synopsis

The 50th anniversary edition of this classic guide features a foreword from renowned gardening influencer Charles Dowding and timeless tips on creating a bountiful and balanced garden.

Plant parsley and asparagus together and you'll have more of each, but keep broccoli and tomato plants far apart if you want them to thrive. Utilize the natural properties of plants to nourish the soil, repel pests, and secure a greater harvest. With plenty of insightful advice and suggestions for planting schemes, Louise Riotte will inspire you to turn your garden into a naturally nurturing ecosystem.
