About this listen

If you are thinking of starting a green growing venture in a small urban environment and are looking for some ideas, info, and inspiration to get you started, then look no further.

Kickstarting your own green pot to plate urban idyll is a within reach idea, and like an onion, has plenty of tasty layers to enjoy and get to know.

This is a short and cheeky tome with equitable bite sizes of info, ideas, and questions that is set to get you started and overcome any sense of fear of getting things wrong by invoking a sense of personal adventure into how you want to get green growing, and what it means to you.

You can discover:

  • Bite size insights as to how and why Urban Restoration, Regeneration and Ecology are on the table in front of us right now, and ask what and how we co-create in consideration.
  • Growing awareness, knowledge, confidence and touch points for stitching a plan together.
  • Doable techniques and recipes for enhancing growth.

I got the bug living in a flat, and it grew from there. It can for you too.

You want a pocket sized, well balanced green audiobook to inspire more than a dinner, download now!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A very informative (and relaxing) audiobook. Read beautifully by Sarah (parts of which had the same wonderfully soothing effect as the shipping forecast!) A great audio companion for my green fingered pottering around the house. It starts with some interesting historical information about community growing around the world and is full of practical tips on sowing, growing and nurturing plants. Particularly liked the tip on using banana skins and have already put this into practice! I aspire to have just an inkling of the plant knowledge Sarah possesses and look forward to more from her.

Informative & relaxing audiobook

First of all I should say that I was gifted an audio copy of this book by the author to review.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Sarah talk with passion about the ins and outs of growing in small spaces. It comes across that not only does she enjoy growing but she also enjoys teaching people how to grow. I learned about saving seeds, companion planting, composting and creating your own plant food which was very interesting. Left me wanting to learn more, which is always a good thing!

Thoroughly enjoyable introduction to growing.

Brilliant, enriching and informative - I’m now itching to get out there!

Sarah explains why it’s important to grow food for ourselves, painting a picture in my mind of what’s needed. Setting the scene on a journey through time and with the living crisis in full swing there has never been a better time to start growing. Sarah kick starts thoughts and actions for growing in small spaces, with a checklist of ‘What are you needs?’ and shares her knowledge and experiences. An informative and enlightening book giving tips and tricks to restorative gardening. Caring for the environment on a shoe string in a sustainable manor in different containers. Sarah sets out sowing instructions, thinning and then guides you through feeding, watering, water conservation, pests and then onto bug hotels, companion planting, how to attract pollinators and the right kind of insects to aid and support our edibles to give all year round crops sustainably. Sharing what we grow to support each other, how to store what we grow and seed collection and swops to keep your circles with a bountiful collection of good stock seeds for the next planting cycle. Brilliant and informative I’m now itching to get out there!

Brilliant, enriching and informative!

I loved this book. Sarah clearly has a lifelong passion for the natural world. Listening to Sarah was like listening to a wise friend imparting their knowledge.
This book is full of so many helpful tips and tricks to make growing that bit easier. I'm very much a "plant it and see what happens" gardener, but I feel I could have quite a successful crop of veggies next time after implementing some of Sarah's tips.
I enjoyed learning about companion planting, composting, seed saving, when and how often to feed etc..
I'll certainly be referring back to this book regularly to help me on my growing journey!

Fantastic book! Enjoyable and informative

A brilliant, easy to listen to and follow book with very short practical chapters doing exactly what it says on the front! I enjoyed the brief historical context and the enthusiasm for using all urban spaces and avoiding chemicals. The idea of companion plants which compliment others really appeals to me! Practical instructions on choice of plants to start with, home made mulch and plant food, saving seed and natural pest control/ encouraging wildlife. Relevant for us now with veg shortages, household costs rising and interest in health/ nutrition and our environment. There are resources at the end and links for Sarah’s Twitter and newsletter too. The short book is the right length to kickstart you into action and makes growing plants accessible to anyone I think.

Excellent little book !
