Practical reuse for the garden

Simon Akeroyd’s collection of 75 gardening projects gives discarded household items a second purpose outdoors. The examples range from converting a colander into a hanging basket to making a wormery from kitchen waste and turning old gloves into a vertical herb garden. Together, they connect hands-on garden making with reuse and waste reduction, while offering ways to create useful features from materials that might otherwise be thrown away. The book is organized around practical ideas for repurposing, recycling, and making gardening more resource-conscious.
