The best way of ensuring that your money actually goes to me is to buy a copy direct from me. You can buy the audiobook below: if you would like to buy a copy of the original hardback, you can drop me an email or buy on eBay.co.uk.
What happened with unbound?
Unfortunately my publisher, Unbound, went into administration owing me hundreds of pounds in royalties. You can read more about what happened here.
THE WILD GARDEN BY WILLIAM ROBINSON (AUDIOBOOK)
This classic work is more than 100 years old but it is still so relevant to the way we garden today. William Robinson introduced wild gardening to the world - naturalising hardy plants from Europe and North America and using them in ways that let their natural beauty shine.
I narrate this work for the first time as an audiobook, now available on Spotify and coming soon to Audible.

PRAISE FOR the allotment keeper’s handbook
