Gardening - A Beginner's Guide

Author: 

Angela Youngman

Many homes in the UK have gardens, varying from 'pocket-sized' to large estates, and many people now also have access to allotments and community gardens. But how can you make the most of your garden, and where do you start, if, like many people, you have no knowledge of the basics?

This guide will provide practical and informative advice about:
How to get started.
Designing your garden - whatever its size!
Understanding preparation.
Choosing the right flowers and shrubs for your soil.
Caring for your lawn.
Growing vegetables, fruits and herbs.
Gardening indoors.
Maintaining your garden once it's established.

Written by an experienced garden journalist, this book will be a no-nonsense guide, using common plant names rather than Latin names, and including a gardener's dictionary.
