Get Up and Grow: Herb, Vegetable and Fruit Growing Projects for Both Indoors and Outdoors, from She Grows Veg

Description

In this truly innovative book Lucy Hutchings - aka She Grows Veg - proves that vegetable gardening doesn't always require outdoor space. Through clever uses of space and containers, understanding of growing conditions and a unique, design-led approach, Lucy showcases how anyone can grow pretty much anything in their back garden, courtyard, balcony or kitchen. Lucy creates 19 projects, from living vegetable walls and hydroponics basics, to indoor greenhouses and hanging herb racks that have all the decorative style and visual interest of ornamental house plants. With step-by-step illustrations and stunning photography, with Get Up and Grow, you can go from gardening novice to growing pro in a matter of weeks. Lucy is blazing a trail for new-wave gardening with a mantra of anything is possible, for anyone. 'Clear, modern and inspiring' - Alan Titchmarsh, gardener and broadcaster

Lucy Hutchings was a couture jewellery designer for Rihanna, Kylie Minogue and Cheryl Cole. But now, she is known as She Grows Veg. An Instagram gardening sensation, she has turned her design eye to all things edible, and is on a mission to make gardening appealing to a younger and more style-conscious audience.

Clear, modern and inspiring. * Alan Titchmarsh * Inquisitive, exciting, sumptuously photographed and a joy to read, Lucy Hutchings' passion for beautiful, edible landscapes delivers a new, exciting eye on how anyone can grow food. Fresh, inventive projects sail alongside practical advice, plant directories and growing techniques, explaining those rules one should know, why you should know them, and how you can bend them to get your plants to grow the way you want them to! Lucy's book has opened my eyes to a world of new growing opportunities, obviously gleaned through the author's own hard fought experience. Her words and ideas reach from the page, draw you in and encourage you to shake up the edibles rule books and experience a whole new way to grow, even if you don't have a garden. Literally ground breaking. * Garden Designer, Author and ex TV Presenter Ann-Marie Powell *
