The Instant Garden

Beautiful Plants + Perfect Combinations = a Garden Transformed

By Henry Bartlam

Create the garden you want with instant impact – growing doesn't get easier than this!

Created for beginner gardeners, The Instant Garden will give you the confidence to easily transform your outdoor space – whether you’re renting, have your first foot on the property ladder, rejuvenating an unloved garden for the first time, or want to give your garden a refresh. Capturing the essence of the Dig Club’s offering – their ‘Instant’ Beds and Pots model – this book is simple, fun and helpful for those who want instant impact and results in their garden – no matter the size of your space.

The Instant Garden features style guides for six types of garden style – Mediterranean, English Country, Cool Contemporary, Exotic, Wild/Polinator, Scandi – and will be organised into three main sections:

  • An easy-to-understand walkthrough of the principles behind ‘Instant’ beds and pots.
  • A practical section explaining the inspiration and design principles for each style and the colour palette and materials, accompanied by two projects – a raised flower bed and a pot trio.
  • An ‘essentials’ section of simple how-to’s (sowing seeds, making compost, etc) and the tools/products you’ll need.
