Description: Find solace in your outdoor space in this delightful horticultural journey with actress Caroline Quentin as she draws on her life - long passion for gardening. Through the pages of this gift book Caroline shows how much joy she gets from spending time in her garden whether it be grappling with the best way to grow plants and vegetables or raising seeds in her potting shed. Though she now has a large following on her Instagram account CQ Gardens her attitude to gardening is the same as it has always been expertise helps but is not essential. Gardening should be fun and enjoyable filled with the simple pleasures of planning planting harvesting and cooking. It is also a meditative and restorative pastime and a great way to lift your spirits. Written in a warm and engaging way that reflects her personality Caroline tells stories of growing chillies from seed in her greenhouse berating the thieving blackbirds in her fruit cage and swimming in her pond singing to dragon flies and flag irises. Over the years she has come to realise that gardening just like life is a series of happy accidents unplanned successes and baffling and frustrating failures. Illustrated by Caroline herself this gorgeous book mixes personal stories of her life and experiences in the garden with practical tips recipes for food and drink and even the occasional favourite poem. As she likes to misquote Dorothy Parker: Take to horticulture it's cheaper than a shrink .
