Joe Swift meets designer Abigail Ahern
Joe Swift meets interiors designer Abigail Ahern who has managed to introduce her eclectic style into her garden. A glass extension on the back of her house 17 years ago, inspired a complete overhaul of her garden and kick-started a passion for garden design that incorporates her signature rich colours, funky accessories, use of indoor lighting and faux cacti for drama, all blended with a strong variety of plants, trees and shrubs. By deconstructing聽Abigail's unique take on design, Joe discovers that even plastic plants can have a place in our gardens.

Charles Dowding
Charles has been a pioneer of organic and no dig growing for more than thirty years. His original, weed free growing methods give superb results in both small and large areas. Charles has found that vegetables often grow more strongly and more healthily on no dig beds. The method saves time and effort by promoting natural processes. Undisturbed soil can develop its own aerated structure so vegetables and flowers can thrive, outgrowing those weeds.
