Slug-Proof Plants: What they won’t munch

About this guide

Slugs and snails: every gardener’s nemesis. They chew through borders, turn prized hostas into lace doilies, and leave trails of heartbreak in their wake.

This 22-page PDF offers practical, real-world advice from my own garden on plants that slugs leave well alone (or at least mostly ignore). It’s packed with experience, humour, and photography — a guide to building beautiful, resilient borders without resorting to chemicals.

Part plant list, part survival manual, part gentle rant against molluscs — this is one for every gardener who’s ever gone out in the morning to find devastation where there used to be leaves.

• Beautiful photography throughout, taken in my own garden
