David Domoney is a familiar face from ITV's Love your Garden, Britain's most watched gardening show, and is also the resident gardener on ITV's This Morning.He is a great enthusiast for the positive power of plants.

In this book he gathers together an accessible range of 75 plants, each of which has extraordinary superpowers. Some will add something remarkable to your garden; others have ideal qualities as house plants. There are also plants that have unusual health-giving properties or have unexpected uses in cooking.

Amongst the many examples in the book is the fast-growing 'mile a minute plant' that can grow up to 15cm in a single day and can be used in your garden to quickly cover an unsightly fence or shed. The buddleja will attract butterflies to your garden because of its dense clusters of tiny flowers, each filled with sweet nectar. As well as being beautiful, sunflowers have the ability to remove toxic materials from your soil. For health, blueberries are nature's original superfood and can easily be grown outside. Included amongst the indoor plants are the many varieties of air plants that don't even need a pot as they draw all their nutrients and water from the air.

For all the plants that are included in the book, there are reliable growing tips as well as a miscellany of fascinating facts, making the book ideal for both novice and experienced gardeners alike.
