About the Author
Simon Akeroyd is a gardener and skilled horticulturist who has written 30 gardening books, many for the RHS and two for DK (Shrubs and Small Trees [2008] and Lawns and Groundcover [2012]). He’s based in Surrey where he is gardening editor for Saga; prior to that he has worked at RHS gardens and for the National Trust.
In 2022 he started a TikTok account dedicated to non-gardeners. His aim was to show just how easy – and fun – growing plants can be and that it’s always worth a try. He’s had huge engagement since, with his “Grow kiwis from the supermarket” video receiving more than 31 million views.
