RHS Encyclopedia of Gardening New Edition

Product Information

The artistic control in this type of garden is so firm and refined that the intrusion of a single “natural” weed would spoil the effect. From preparation such as choosing the correct materials for your structures and assessing your drainage, to laying patios, making ponds, and planting perennials, the RHS Encyclopedia of Garden Design is with you every step of the way.

At its most elemental, but not least valuable, the gardening experience begins with the child’s wonder that a packet of seeds will produce a charming festival of colour.
