Grow a New Garden

'Aspirational, accessible, awesome.' Huw Richards, author of The Permaculture Garden

Create a new garden that blooms for you, in any space or patch of land that you want to call a garden.

In Grow a New Garden, Becky Searle (Sow Much More on Instagram) offers a warm and chatty practical guide to designing and planting beautiful, healthy gardens, based on her own experiences.

Becky has changed gardens several times in the last few years due to changes in her personal circumstances, but she has created a garden everywhere she goes. The garden that she has today is a new-build property garden. When she moved in December 2022, it was entirely devoid of plants. Two years later, Becky has created a joyful space for growing food and flowers and for her growing family!

Becky came to realise that what she had learned in this garden could apply to any new garden, whether you are starting from scratch, dealing with an overgrown or neglected garden or redesigning an existing garden.

From building healthy soil to creating a natural and sustainable garden with a thriving ecosystem that encourages biodiversity to planning your dream garden while dealing with awkward spaces, noise or privacy, Becky will give gardeners, whether new or experienced, a complete understanding of how gardens work, demystifying garden design and making gardening easier and more enjoyable.
