Desert Island Dishes

S18 Ep6: Martha Swales the Gardening Guru on the dishes that have shaped her


Listen Later

Martha is something of an anomaly these days. She grows (a lot of) her own food… and is an avid urban gardener from London. 

With over 1 million followers on Instagram, Martha’s straightforward and calming approach to growing your own food is digestible and relatable to the masses. Not only is it informative, but I find Martha’s content is such a celebration of what nature can do and how a little bit of sunshine can grow the most wonderful ingredients. Her debut book Give It A Grow has been an instant success, climbing to a top spot immediately in Amazon gardening books. It has chapters on veg, fruit, herbs, flowers and wildlife, with over 40 of her favourite projects to make the most of your garden, patio or balcony plus bonus recipes for how to cook with your produce.

Thank you to our sponsor Wild Nutrition.
