I think your book Your Garden in Spain is brilliant and inspirational.It’s a great book . I had drawn up a plan for the existing garden and now you have helped me do a complete redesign with a plant list in English and Spanish as you include photographs plus Spanish, English and botanical names.

Having purchased Your Garden in Spain we were so thrilled we went and purchased the other two books Growing Healthy Fruit in Spain and Growing Healthy Vegetables in Spain. With a 500 square metre bare plot we were out of our depth and looking for inspiration and advice. The books certainly provided this. They are so full of useful tips, advice and colour photographs taken by yourselves. The books are clearly written by people not only passionate about gardening but also experts at gardening in this harsh hot climate that we now call home. We would recommend the books to anyone with a garden, patio or even only a balcony in Spain.

I have your three books and would just like to complement you on your expertise. I have found no other garden publications that are as good as yours.

I have lived on the Costa Blanca for nineteen years and have always dabbled a bit in fruit and vegetable growing. Last year my dream came true and we purchased a 5000 square metre finca of land where I can now fulfil my lifetime ambition of growing my own on a larger scale. Your vegetable and fruit growing books came at absolutely the right time. I had been waiting for nineteen years for the kind of information and guidance that the books provide. Thank you so much for having the foresight and patience to compile the books.

Your Garden in Spain ‘ From planning to planting and maintenance is the best gardening book we’ve come across ‘ definitely a must have! Incredible, easily understood detail with many attractive illustrations; all in a superb layout. After some years of trial and error, we wish we’d had this from the onset.

The new version of Your Garden in Spain is an invaluable aid to both long established gardeners in Spain and newcomers. It creates an invaluable trilogy together with Growing Healthy Fruit in Spain and Growing HealthyVegetables in Spain. Everything you need to know to develop a simple low maintenance garden or a complex holistic garden for self sufficiency.

We have read your three books . The information in your books is practical with a theoretical base, easy to understand and will for example permit us to create a complete holistic garden complex for self sufficiency. There is advice on coping with climate, tips on water economy and ecology, and as you say strategic advice, routine day to day advice, problem solving and crisis advice. Your publications are an interesting compilation of experiences that should be promoted in educational activities and an extension of your projects.

Having just taken over 12,000 square metres of abandoned overgrown mountainside terraces with many olive cherry and almond trees that need urgent pruning. Luckily we discovered your books. They are great and easy to follow with lots of useful photographs. Thanks.

Your Garden in Spain is a ‘must have’ for anyone who owns a Spanish property, even if they have only a balcony or small patio as apposed to a garden. Without the clear and concise information and suggestions found within the book it is all too easy to make expensive mistakes when purchasing plants, shrubs and trees etc.. Your Garden in Spain‘ From planning to planting and maintenance could prove to be the best investment you could make ‘ happy gardening in Spain..

During the last few months I have revisited your three books very often to decide how to prune my fruit trees, to know the best times for planting various plants and harvesting produce and how to combat various pests ecologically etc.. The books have become a useful and practical handbook covering all aspects of gardening ‘ flowers, fruit vegetables etc ‘ ecologically and sustainably.
I have leant a lot from them and I really think that they should be translated for those Spaniards who do not understand English. I haven’t found such useful and practical information in the Spanish gardening books and most of the Spanish gardeners and farmers don’t know the basic techniques to grow sustainably.

I have just moved to the Canary Islands and have found the book Your Garden in Spain invaluable. I have carried the book around numerous garden centres in order to find the correct plant/tree/flower for my needs. As an expat starting out this book has been a godsend. The general layout is easy to understand and the range of useful information is second to none. The book is a must for all budding gardeners, enthusiasts or the experienced gardener.

We can recommend a new book Your Garden in Spain ‘ From planning to planting and maintenance to our members. In it you find the various topics of importance about establishing a garden in our Mediterranean climate, especially useful for gardeners who come from other countries to Spain.
