Written by journalist and gardener, Liz Potter, the new Gardeners’ World: The Flower Thesaurus, provides a collection of colourful plant choices that are suitable for all garden locations, whatever the size of the space. Whether one is taming an overgrown plot, redesigning a mature, established garden or creating a new garden from scratch, this book provides ample plant combinations to harmonise, contrast, clash or provide a pop of vibrant accent colour to bring pots, beds and borders to life.

Plants are arranged in colour-themed chapters, organised by their main season of interest, ensuring easy to find content – right plant for the right place at the right time.

Liz Potter is a journalist with 30+ years’ magazine experience and a passion for gardening. She is the former Editor of Garden Answers and Executive Editor of RHS magazine, The Garden. Potter currently freelances for BBC Gardeners’ World, Garden News and The Garden.

Gardeners’ World: The Flower Thesaurus (BBC Books) will be released on the 27th of March 2025.
