'Bellamy makes gardening seem simple, expressive and joyful. Anyone can do it.' - Evening Standard
Garden size shouldn't be a barrier to curating beautiful outdoor spaces and Grow 5 delineates a brilliantly simple way to make a small garden.
Using a palette of just five plants, you can create:
- an urban garden inspired by ancient hedgerows
- a micro-meadow in a city space
- a contemporary wildlife garden with layers of colour
- a medley of pots with scent for tiny courtyard
This practical and inspirational book includes over 100 of the newest and best plants and how to use them in 52 simple, seasonal designs.
