| I have found this book very useful for suggesting varieties of seeds to grow, spacing, crop rotation and suggestions for vegetables I would never have thought of. I only have 6square metres of veg garden which limits what you can grow and have found this full of useful tips about maximising use of space. Don't be put off by the fact that she has a huge amount of space it is full of good advice for those just starting out. |

| Having already got hold of "Grow your own cut flowers" by the same author, I agonised for a long time about whether to buy this as well. Although there is some repetition, there is also a lot of different material. There are more arrangements and techniques in this book than in the later "Grow your own...", more detail on floristry equipment, and more information about more plants, which are organised by time of year and colour in this book, rather than by bulb/perennial/annual/half hardy annual, etc.
Although the styling of some of the photos is perhaps a little dated, the arrangements still look fresh and modern, and could be adapted if you want something a little less prescriptive. My only real complaint is that you would need a very extensive ... Read More |

| I have been an organic gardener and garden designer for years. I bought this book out of curiosity to see what Ms Raven's insights might be. I was disappointed not to learn any 'tricks of the trade' from it and, in fact, was scandalised by some of its irresponsible, old-fashioned content. For example, Ms Raven suggests, when growing sweet peas, that it is essential to place mousetraps around them otherwise the seeds will be eaten by mice. I've been growing sweet peas since I was a child and nothing has ever eaten my seeds. Ms Raven also states it is essential to use slug pellets around the plants. This is also nonsense. I never use any pesticides or chemicals on mine and they are always fabulous and superior to neighbours who do use pellets (which can poison beneficial ... Read More |
