Anyone who has ever inherited a garden knows the difficulties of coping with what is there already. When faced with such a prospect, the cry is always "Where do I start?" This book sets out to make the prospect less daunting.
Following Stephen Anderton's clear, no-nonsense advice, you start by assessing the existing garden and understanding your own needs. Then you learn how to do the job: identifying existing plants, saving important ones; clearing, pruning, installing new structures and replanting.
The third section of the book is a substantial pruning directory covering lawns, trees, herbaceous plants, climbers and much more.
