In recent years gardeners have become more demanding in their quest for plants. They grow a wider range each year, and what they need is a book which shows them the range of treasures on offer. 'Cassell's Encyclopedia of Gardening' contains comprehensive sections on garden flowers, trees, shrubs, climbers and fruit, with details of cultivation and superb photographs. It will also tell you about the basics of design, how to create your own garden features - from paths to ponds, rock gardens to dry-stone walls - and how to propagate plants. There are clear step-by-step explanations of practical gardening techniques including pruning, feeding and dealing with pests and diseases. All these features, together with plant selection charts (outlining the essential characteristics of 1600 plants) and a year-round calendar of gardening tasks, make this the only major gardening reference book you ever need own.
