Your Gardening Year 2023
View Book"I very much enjoyed working on Your Gardening Year 2023 and working with the DK team, as it gave me a whistle stop tour through the seasons while I was working on it. Living in a flat in London, sadly without a garden, means I have to vicariously enjoy the benefits of a garden through the gardens and plants I am commissioned to draw! I particularly liked drawing and learning which plants were ‘at their best’ each month and being able to add a little more focus and detail to these."
