The story behind the book

The story behind the book

Scott J Millin, author of The Easy-care Garden loves being outdoors in the garden. He is passionate about what he does and likes to use his own life experiences to help inspire others, which clearly comes through in his book. Some of his earliest childhood memories are of being outside, helping his father and grandfather on the allotment and in the garden.

Scott realised that not everyone has the time to spend gardening, and when you do find the time, it can be quite overwhelming if you don’t know where to start. However, when asked most people do wish for a nice ‘easy-care’ garden. Nobody wants to be a slave to the garden, you want to enjoy the garden.

Sadly, November 2015, Scott’s father passed away and he hit a very low point in his life, so looking for some escapism, he decided to set about writing a gardening book. This was not just going to be another gardening book either; it had to be something special, something useful and something easily understandable to anyone reading it.

Through his own experiences, Scott knew that choosing easy-care plants, using colourful evergreens and creating an eco-friendly system along with landscaping and time-saving techniques was key to a successful low-maintenance garden and year-round interest. So, he set about writing a new and inspiring way of looking at the garden in the form of the The Easy-care Garden book.

Creative by nature, Scott called upon his own skills as an experienced art worker to design the book himself. Not only is it a big undertaking writing a book but it is also quite unique for any author to do all the photography, layout and design of a book too.

So, when purchasing this book you know you are purchasing something quite special with ‘raw passion’ and attention to detail ensuring an easy-to-follow and enjoyable reading experience.

The book was released in November 2018 and is available to purchase from this website The Easy-care Garden website – www.TheEasyCareGarden.co.uk
