Losing the Plot

Losing the Plot is about scaling down – retirement gardening – for those making the move to a smaller garden or wanting to enjoy their present garden to the full, rather than struggling to maintain it. It’s aim is to make life easier by giving advice on adapting a garden for the less able and planning for low maintenance. There is a chapter on making the most of your garden that gives invaluable tips on making the garden a place to relax, but still leaving scope for some pleasurable work, while a chapter on the planting picture gives advice on narrowing the choice to ‘hardworking’ plants, but leaving room for some ‘guilty pleasures’, as well as providing planting schemes and ideal plant combinations.
