Walk through Adam's garden as he shares his love for over 150 plants and how to grow them.

Take a wander through Adam's garden as he reflects on the plants that have shaped his life.

The scents of the rosemary and thyme lining the garden path instantly welcome you to what follows–a wildflower meadow, an ornamental kitchen garden, a shady courtyard, terrace and borders, gravel garden, and woodland walk, taking you on a tour through Adam's garden.

As you go, Adam explains his design and planting choices, drawing on personal feelings and memories as well as years of experience.

Plant profiles provide inspiration for your own planting dreams, interspersed with practical know-how on plant care and design ideas to help you create flow and moments of pause using pathways, arches, water features, and pots.

For the Love of Plants by Adam Frost is a testament to the beauty and significance of the natural world, offering readers an intimate glimpse into Adam's passion for plants and gardening.
