Book •
Milli Proust's How Does Your Garden Grow?
draws on her ten years of hands-on gardening experience to give newcomers clear, practical advice for planning and maintaining borders and gardens.
The book introduces simple frameworks such as a 'plant pyramid', time-budget categories for different gardener lifestyles, and curated plant lists for each season.
It emphasizes working with local materials and biodiversity — for example, orchards underplanted with bulbs and using hedging and poles sourced from the landscape.
Written in a calm, accessible voice and illustrated with unpretentious photography, the book balances nostalgia and aesthetics with actionable steps.
It serves as a reference beginners can repeatedly consult to avoid overwhelm and to build confidence in plant selection and garden design.
