Fresh from designing his own garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show James will be offering more common sense horticultural advice on how and when to plant the most useful varieties. He’ll be delving in to the borders of amateur fanatics and tapping in to expertise of specialist growers as well as finding inspiration in some of Britain’s most spectacular gardens and wild landscapes.
James will create a range of simple and easy to make remedies for common everyday ailments, from calming chamomile teas and angelica infusions for indigestion to eucalyptus inhalations for block up noses and witchhazel gel for zits. He’ll show you how to make your own cheap and luxurious beauty products like peppermint foot scrubs and seaweed shower gels and how to fashion your own fragrances from geranium and roses as well as create homemade walnut furniture polish or a zesty citrus room spray.
Packed full of fascinating historical and scientific insights in to the way plants work and the forgotten knowledge of how to use them, you’ll never look at your garden in the same way again.
