These recently published gardening books will inspire you during the last of the dark winter evenings to look forward to the coming spring. They should help you make those changes you might have been planning for your garden. All have many photos and/or drawings to illustrate the advice given. The books are available for sale from our Book Section at The Gardener’s Garden Centre, Rushmore Hill. They also provide a possible answer for the question, what to get for Mothers Day?
This is ideal for the new gardener. Whether you are restoring a garden you may have taken over, or starting gardening as a complete novice, it contains lots of common-sense and easy to understand advice. The many ceatures within the book cover money and time saving tips, traditional methods, “green” tips and lots of bright ideas. It is designed to display these tips in icon boxes for quick reference throughout each chapter. The chapters themselves cover many gardening topics. A really useful guide and reasonably priced.
Like many garden centres throughout the UK, Coolings are very aware of the virtues of growing your own fruit and vegetables. There is certainly a tremendous increase of interest from gardeners to have a go. This can be quite a life-style change, but the reader will know that they are in safe hands as this book is written by the RHS’s foremost fruit and vegetable experts. It leads the reader through the seasons giving advice on many subjects in order to grow a year-round supply of edible healthy crops for the family. A book, which again provides lots of useful information.
It can be easy to forget in our multi-media age with gadgets for everything, that gardening is really about the beauty and benefits of growing plants, and the joy they give us. When we stop and really look, every plant is stunning in its own way. This book is a page turning, delightful way to spend time looking for plants which will enable you to have displays throughout the year. Lovely! It will inform you what season the plant is for, how hardy, what soil is best, how to prune and take cuttings: All you need for the general care for your chosen plant. This is another book which is easy to use and a pleasure to buy for yourself or to give as a gift.
