What to expect

Sumptuous, beautiful and packed with refreshingly down-to-earth advice, Arthur Parkinson's new book focuses on dramatic but easy-to-grow floral plants that will turn your garden into a perfumed, sustainable paradise, teeming with wildlife and alive with the sound of songbirds.

Arranged seasonally, it includes sowing tips and propagating hints, plus advice on planning and keeping track of what is happening in your garden. As well as dramatic floral annuals, Arthur's container suggestions include herbs, figs and scented pelagoniums, as well as permanent planting ideas for cover and winter structure. This is gardening both for the good of ourselves and the planet.
