"Very inspiring, not only for gardening ideas but also for would-be authors, and there are lots of relevant positive ideas that translate to personal endeavors, like fitness (something I'm trying to focus on). Thank you so much. I'm already looking at my garden wondering what to tackle first. 💕🪴🐛🏵️🌿"

"I finished reading your book last night. It is informative, entertaining, personal and pleasant, easy reading. I haven't read a gardening book quite like it, in that you set out your schedule, methods and general approach in a holistic way."

"Just finished reading The Idea of Gardening to Penny this morning while she has been cleaning out the kitchen cupboards. A great fun read. The trouble is that we now need to see this beautiful garden. Is there going to be an open garden day?"

Meet the Author
Hi, I’m Warren of Warren’s Bookstore!
I’m a passionate full time gardener in retirement. In 2026 I was inspired to write a book about my gardening practice called ‘The Idea of Gardening’.
It turned out better than I expected so I decided to publish. The response has been wonderful. I am already writing my second book ‘The Idea of Publishing’ which should be a fun read.
I now have several ideas for future books, all in the titles of ‘The Idea of ….’
I dearly hope you enjoy ‘The Idea of Gardening’. I can’t wait to bring you more like it.
Signing off,
The passionate gardener,
Warren
