How to Grow Stuff: Easy, No-Stress Gardening For Beginners

Feeling green-fingered but not sure where to start? This book is for you.  

Growing stuff - herbs, veg, salad, flowers and plants - is fun and pretty easy. You just need some practical knowledge - all in this book - & a bit of space - a window ledge, pot or plot of soil. 

Then, have fun growing: basil, mint, parsley, rosemary, chillies, courgettes, rocket, tomatoes, geraniums, pansies, lavender, osteospurmum, daffodils, hyacinths, muscari, tulips, succulents, aloe vera, money plants, maidenhair ferns & oxalis.  

If you have no outside space at all, you can grow everything here inside too...   

Alice Vincent is an arts journalist who has been growing things in London for a while now, but she really became fascinated with plants after taking over a wind-blown balcony nearly three years ago. A self-taught gardener, she has learned how to grow plants to eat, admire & enjoy both inside & out, & maintains that limited experience & space shouldn't stop anyone from growing things. For the past year Alice has been documenting her plant adventures on Instagram as @noughticulture | @alice_emily & keeping a column on urban & rookie gardening for The Telegraph.
