Head gardener Moore, a HortWeek expert writer, tackles the tricky question of how to make your gardener wilder, while keeping it as a garden.
Lawns, meadows and growing your own wildflowers are the big areas gardeners want to know about. Clovers and daisies are a staple for the lawn and are not the weeds that they were once seen as.
One of the strengths of the book is that you learn how to plant small as well as large areas of wildflowers. You can sow direct or use pots or plug trays to start wildflowers off.
Then, in a window box, pasqueflowers, field scabious, sweet woodruff, fox and cubs and wild marjoram and thyme are recommended.
James Weston Lewis and Clare Harrup provide charming illustrations.
Jane Moore is HortWeek head gardener writer and always writes articles bursting with doable and satisfying projects. And there's none more so than planting wildflowers. The design and content of this sweet little hardback makes getting into wildflowers all the easier and more desirable.
