She'll Be Right Mate: An Aussie's Comedy of Errors in English Gardens

When an optimistic Australian packs up his London cubicle to start a Jim's Mowing franchise in Kent, he overlooks just one tiny detail.

He doesn't know the first thing about gardening.

Armed with unwavering optimism and a borrowed lawn mower, author Richard Harrison 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, every so often, the best growth happens outside the garden.

Part memoir, part comedy, and part inspiration, this laugh-out-loud story proves that failure can be just as rewarding as success.

Perfect for 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.

Pick up your copy of The Export Gardener today and discover that sometimes the best stories grow in the most unlikely soil.

Industry Reviews

'Read this on the plane to Australia...laughed out loud the whole way through. I could just imagine the author in the various predicaments!!! An insightful and honest viewpoint on people, Kent, cricket, business and life.'

'The funniest book l have read for ages, will definitely recommend to my friends.'

'If you like BBC Radio 4's Ed Reardon, this appears to be written by his long lost Australian cousin. A series of hapless gardening mishaps masquerading as a business.'

'Funniest book I have read in ages a real laugh out loud experience.'
