A Fish Out of Water in the Garden of England
When Richard Harrison trades his London cubicle for gardening shears in Sevenoaks, Kent, there's just one tiny detail he overlooked: he can't tell a dandelion from a daffodil.
Armed with nothing but optimism and a borrowed lawn mower, he launches headfirst into the manicured world of suburban landscaping.
What could possibly go wrong?
From battles with the infamous Tip Monster to diplomatic missions with Nasty Mrs. Phillips, Richard’s misadventures bloom into an unexpected journey of self-discovery. His clients might be eccentric (looking at you, Mad Annie Marsh), but they teach him that sometimes the best growth happens outside the garden.
Part memoir, part comedy, and part inspiration, this laugh-out-loud story proves that success doesn't always require expertise - sometimes all you need is the courage to get your hands dirty.
Perfect for fans of Bill Bryson and anyone who has ever dared to chase an impossible dream, The Export Gardener will have you rooting for Richard’s success from the very first page.
Grab your gardening gloves (even if you're wearing them backwards) and join this hilarious journey from clueless novice to... well, slightly less clueless novice.
