Ibiza is about beauty, not just the natural beauty of the landscape, the coast and mountains, the abundance of nature, but also the beauty in the spirit of the island. Water is a precious resource in Ibiza, and continuously pouring it into a lawn, or plants that need a lot of water, is both wasteful and time-consuming. If you want an abundant, lovely garden despite the Mediterranean heat and arid landscape, your best bet is to seek out drought-resistant garden plants. Not only will you save water and energy, but they are far more likely to survive long term and create a garden with character and complexity.

This stunningly designed and illustrated book details the gardens that won Adam an astonishing seven gold medals at Chelsea Flower Show from his first self-financed garden 2007 to his Show Gardens for major sponsors such as Homebase. Recognised as the designers' designer Adam Frost combines a mixture of great design and brilliant planting. In this book he tells the story of the creation of each garden and reveals tips and information to allow readers to create their own great spaces. As a member of the regular presenting team on Gardeners' World, Adam is incredibly popular and draws large crowds wherever he appears.
