In today's fast-paced world there is never enough time in the day to do all the things you want to do. One of these things may well be tending your garden. But here is a book to change all that! Written specifically for those garden owners with busy lifestyles who can only venture into their garden for a few hours a week, 'The Once-A-Week Gardener' shows you how to make the best possible use of your time, and which are the truly essential tasks that need doing in any garden in the course of a year.
Organized in a series of seasonally based chapters - from early spring through mid-summer and late autumn to the relatively quiet winter months - the book looks at each area of the garden in turn, including beds, borders and pools, propogation, lawns, containers and kitchen gardens.
Accessible text and clear step-by-step artworks show how to do each task quickly and easily. Quick reference symbols indicate both how necessary each task is and how long it will take, plus time saving tip boxes give advice on how to cut corners yet still do the job properly. Finally a plant directory has been devised for the time-pressed gardner, featuring only those plants that are easy to cultivate and care for, with quick reference details that tell you how best to look after them.
