"If only carrots grew on trees" - growing food isn't all hard labour: digging, weeding, hoeing, feeding. Growing perennial plants gives you food for next-to-no effort.

All it takes is a little design, and a little plant knowledge. Richard Smedley's short talk shows Southport Flower Show goers where to start on their journey to abundant & beautiful landscapes.
