Ann Treneman is a journalist, garden designer and winner of the People’s Choice Award for her RHS Wild Kitchen Garden at Chelsea Flower Show. Past projects include sensory and dementia friendly gardens in London.

In association with the Royal Horticultural Society, Ann has produced this beautifully illustrated book, packed with advice and inspiration that will delight gardeners and plant lovers. A ‘pick and mix’ of horticultural knowledge, it answers a multitude of questions and is filled with botanical diagrams and graphics, maps, historical biographies, scientific explorations, plant profiles, unbelievable facts, recipes and tips. As she says, ‘If plants could talk, they could tell us some amazing stories – of survival, derring-do, drama, beauty, friends and enemies. They are wild in many ways, and this book seeks to reach the parts that others have not.’

‘A brilliant book that in one easy read has turned me into an ‘expert’ on just about every aspect of plants and gardening’ Joe Swift, garden designer and broadcaster
