Product Information

The gardening experience may involve visiting some of the world’s great gardens at different seasons to see the relation of individual groups of plants, trees, and shrubs to the whole design; to study the positioning of plants in terms of their colour, texture, and weight of leaf or blossom; and to appreciate the use of special features such as ponds or watercourses, pavilions, or rockeries.

Although there are sections on propagation in each chapter in the first section, there’s a detailed section here too.

The print quality and imagery is excellent, but in my copy there are a few marks where it seems the ink has transferred onto some of the pages which is a little disappointing and spoils an otherwise lovely print - but your copy may vary.
