Joe's Garden to Save the World

We are absolutely thrilled to be working with Joe the Gardener.

We have followed him for years and watched his growing journey on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. Earlier this year he released his debut gardening book ‘Garden To Save The World’ which aims to help anyone get into this wonderful hobby, regardless of how much space they have, all in a eco and budget friendly way.

A bit about Joe

As a child, Joe spent a lot of time with his great grandmother in the garden, learning about the different plants, growing fruit and veg and spotting all the animals in the garden. Immediately he fell in love! 27 years later it has now become a goal of his to help share some of that information, passion for wildlife and the environment with others! His goal is simple; teach as many people as possible about the joys and health benefits of being outside while also trying to protect this beautiful natural world we are so lucky to call home.

Joe utilises his abundance of innovative ideas to create easy and fun recipes to help his audience lead more healthy and environmentally-friendly lives whilst also saving money.

From Joe

"Like many keen gardeners, I will admit to having a slight addiction when it comes to buying the latest tools, equipment and plants. Most weekends I can be found scanning my local garden centres shelves to see what is new, and usually buying way too much. Most of these products are adequate, they do their job and that is that; however, every once in a while you come across a real gem, and for me Protek has been the crown jewel. I first used protek wood stain four years ago when I needed to protect my new garden office."

"The best way I can explain just how impressed I was with their product is to explain what happened next. One painted garden office, soon turned into a painted shed, then my wooden raised beds, and before long my whole garden has been protected and painted with Protek wood stain. Easy to use, made in the UK, wildlife and child friendly, all mean it's the perfect choice for me. Experimenting with the vast array of colours has been such a joy and has really added some much needed year round vibrancy to my garden."

"While I have enjoyed all of the colours I have used, I would love to recommend Olive Green paired with Cornish Cream as an accent colour. If natural wood is more your style, I love the look of Protek Royal Exterior Hazelnut wood stain, as it is truly stunning, and is the colour that has received the most compliments from friends and family.

While protek has been amazing for these traditional uses, such as painting sheds, fences and gates, as a keen DIY and upcycling type of gardener, protek has helped take my projects to new levels, especially those made from old pallets. We have even painted signs, old pots, and a brick garage with ease. It has truly been my go to garden companion for any new project, or to bring a little bit of life and longevity to older projects too."
