Ideal for anyone with just a windowsill or a few containers, use the tips and tricks to get long-term plants from your short-term shop.

From food growing ideas (like saving seeds from raspberries and growing them on) to simple plant care ideas (such as how to water plants when you're on holiday), this exciting and addictive approach to growing food and plants will help you get so much more from your weekly shop.

About the Author

Simon Akeroyd is a gardener and skilled horticulturist who has written 30 gardening books, many for the RHS and two for DK (Shrubs and Small Trees 2008 and Lawns and Groundcover 2012). He's based in Surrey where he is gardening editor for Saga; prior to that he has worked at RHS gardens and for the National Trust. In 2022 he started a TikTok account dedicated to non-gardeners. His aim was to show just how easy - and fun - growing plants can be and that it's always worth a go. He's had huge engagement since, with his 'Grow kiwis from the supermarket' video receiving more than 31 million views.
