A Step-by-Step Guide to Vital Gardening Tasks Through the Year.
Every gardener wants a garden that looks good all year round. Gardenwork shows how, with careful planning and regular seasonal tasks, this can be successfully achieved.
Spring is the busiest time; everything must be done immediately and weeds make up for a winter of dormancy. Summer is a time of prolific growth - plants require constant staking, feeding and watering. The pace slows in autumn, but this is the time for assessment and planning, and the garden must be made ready for the onset of winter.
This indispensable, highly practical book offers comprehensive advice on every aspect of seasonal care and maintenance, from planting and pruning to lawn and pond care. Inspiring photographs and clear step-by-step illustrations guide you through each task. Eighteen decorative gardening projects, from topiary to hanging baskets, are featured on foldout pages.
