Garden Blether

Patrick Vickery is a Garden Writer and Gardener based in the north of Scotland. As well as running a small perennial plant nursery in the Scottish Highlands, he writes articles of an anecdotal, unusual and gardening kind called the “Garden Blether”.

His garden writing has featured on many websites and magazines across the world and - as a consequence - he’s gained the enviable reputation for ‘Blethering’ on a truly international scale!

As well as writing the Garden Blether he is the author of “In Pursuit Of Perennial Profit – The Pot Of Gold At The Bottom Of The Garden” (isbn: 186163 1480. Publisher: Capall Bann, UK. Price £7.95) available direct from the publisher at www.capallbann.co.uk, from www.amazon.co.uk (simply type in the author’s name in the book section and the remaining details will come up) or from your local bookshop.

“In Pursuit Of Perennial Profit – The Pot Of Gold At The Bottom Of The Garden”

A book that shows how to make your garden productive in a variety of ways, at minimum cost and in an innovative and self-financing way. Choosing the best plants to grow, organising time and space (you don’t need much of either!), deterring slugs, getting the best from your plants and even how to sell excess plants should you wish are all covered here.

An environmentally friendly approach to gardening with an emphasis on organic methods and common sense recycling.
