Beat the rising cost of living and transform your garden on a budget with Anya the Garden Fairy.

The Money-Saving Gardener reveals the tips and tricks to keeping costs down without compromising on style or impact. Learn how to repurpose what you have and give new life to second-hand garden furniture; discover savvy cheats to keep hard landscaping costs low; and boost your plant collection for next to nothing with seed-saving and propagation hacks.

Revealing the plants that will give you the best long-term value for money, tips for choosing the varieties that will thrive in your garden year after year, and projects for making the most of your propagated cuttings and seedlings, The Money-Saving Gardener proves that a stunning garden doesn’t need to cost the earth or break the bank.
Lifelong gardener Lautenbach, active on social media as AnyaTheGardenFairy, brings together tips, suggestions, and a general mindset of creating striking gardens in harmony with nature. She advocates utilizing plants propagated, divided, or grown from seed and objects found, swapped, thrifted, or repurposed. Her eco-conscious mindset and friendly, supportive style should appeal to newbie gardeners who see the merit in enjoying cost savings and a slower timeline instead of spending money for immediate results. The frequent garden photos are lovely, though some images of specific techniques and garden projects require a keen eye to discern full detail. VERDICT Of most interest to beginning gardeners. —Library Journal
Anya Lautenbach is a self-taught gardener with a passion for the environment and championing neurodiversity. She grew up in Poland, and now lives in Buckinghamshire, UK, where her garden has blossomed through years of propagation and clever gardening tricks. Inspired to share her knowledge on social media as Anya the Garden Fairy, Anya proves that gardening does not need to be expensive and that anyone can transform their garden. Anya also uses her platform to raise awareness about the positive influence horticulture can have on mental health. She proves that gardening does not need to be expensive - anyone can transform their garden and create something amazing. Anya's first book was published by DK in February 2024 and became a Sunday Time Bestseller. View titles by Anya Lautenbach
