'Laetitia Maklouf's is a delightfully fresh new voice in the horticultural world that is completely authentic and convincing' Monty Don 'Overflows with easy, yet gorgeous, ideas, which understand the need to produce stunning results with minimum effort. It seems it is possible to be a person with not very much money, space or time and still make a botanical paradise of your home' Style 'With clever advice and plenty of glamour, Laetitia Maklouf demystifies gardening' Vogue 'Laetitia is the patron saint of plants for anyone who doesn't have a garden, who has never had green fingers, or who loves flowers, but glazes over at the mention of pruning and compost' Red
Author Bio
Laetitia Maklouf is a single, sexy girl-about-town (30) and a self-confessed plant-murderer who fell in love with plants a few years ago and now wants to share her passion with other gardening virgins. A green-fingered Nigella, she proves effortlessly that a life full of plants is the only one worth living. She studied horticulture at the Chelsea Physic Garden, lives in a flat in West London with her dog, Mr Pug, and dreams of a garden of her own one day.
