RHS 50 Ways to
Start a Garden

book

This is a book close to my heart as it was an idea I initially pitched and managed to art direct right to the end. Aimed at first-time gardeners, those in rented accommodation or anyone with limited outdoor space, this book teaches how to take stock of an environment and start a garden. While keeping the design simple, we used IKEA-esque illustrations and inspiring plant selectors to prove that gardening doesn’t have to be intimidating.
