Give it a Grow

The go-to book for novice gardeners, Give it a Grow is full of easy projects complete with illustrations on how to grow (and eat) your own food, fruit, and flowers, while helping you feel more connected to nature.

The first book from amateur gardener and viral sensation Martha Swales, this is a beginner's guide that shows how fun and easy it can be to grow your own slice of nature.

With chapters on vegetables, fruit, herbs, flowers, and wildlife, this book brings together over 40 of Martha's favourite projects to make the most of your garden, patio, or balcony (plus recipes for how to cook with your produce, too!).

Grow garlic greens on your windowsill (and use them to make tasty garlic flatbreads), fill your garden with wild strawberries, build a pond to bring wildlife to your garden, and make a bulb lasagne for a changing display of flowers throughout spring.

Offering a fresh alternative to the over-complicated gardening books on the market, Give it a Grow is perfect for urban readers in their 30s and 40s, and shows just how fun gardening can be when you give it a grow.
