A concise introduction to gardening, combining both practical and cultural aspects in a unique, sharply designed package.
Gardening is one of our most popular past-times. The plethora of TV programs is inspiring a whole new generation of gardeners. A "people's revolt" against GM crops and in favour of organic produce, is encouraging more and more of us to become sons and daughters of the soil.
Discover how gardens have developed over the centuries, from the symmetry of French design to the naturalness of English gardens. Learn how to plant, prune, propagate and water, what pests and diseases to guard against and how to get started with organic gardening. Find out about the importance of soil and situation, and the neglected aspect of gardening and legal issues. All the basics to get you started.
