A beautifully illustrated guide to growing native orchids from seed in your own garden.

Native orchids are among our most extraordinary wildflowers, and are surprisingly easy to grow under the right conditions. While a sprawling meadow may not be feasible for all, even a small corner of your garden or a pot on a patio can be transformed into a stunning display.

Filled with watercolour illustrations and photographs, this updated edition includes valuable information on which species of orchids work in your garden and what companion plants to grow with them. Step-by-step instructions explore how to grow orchids from seed, cultivate them in containers and even restore orchid meadows or orchards to their former glory, supporting and strengthening local ecosystems.
