If we didn’t have plants, we couldn’t survive on this planet. Plants give us oxygen to breathe, food for us and other living creatures to eat and colourful spaces to enjoy.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have a garden, but if you do, it’s important to look after it and create the right environment for all the creatures that live and work in it. They need each other... and you need them to help you create a great garden.

This beautifully illustrated young person’s guide, by best-selling children’s author Martyn Barr, looks at the science behind a garden. If you understand that, you will be a better gardener!
