The Weekend Gardener: Plan, Build, Plant & Maintain Your Dream Garden in Your Spare Time

The Weekend Gardener is your beginner's DIY guide to creating your dream garden.

Henry Agg created his garden while working full time, proving that you can too! Now a qualified garden designer, Henry shares his knowledge for the busy gardener who doesn't know where to begin.

Broken down into four key stages, easy-to-follow step-by-step projects and bite-sized seasonal tasks walk you through how to:

• PLAN your design, considering aspect, look and feel, and budget

• BUILD paths, steps, patios, walls, and fences; as well as plant supports, such as pergolas and raised beds; and even a calming water feature

• PLANT trees, hedges, herbaceous plants, bulbs, and lay turf

• MAINTAIN your dream garden so it keeps looking good – and you feeling good – all year round.

With estimates of how long jobs will take – from an hour or so to a full weekend – so you can plan your time, The Weekend Gardener has all the gardening essentials you need to get started.
