Description

A step-by-step guide for the gardening novice enriched by beautiful photographs throughout. This is a fantastic book for anyone who is a beginner to gardening or if you just want to re-design your garden.

This book is written by Kim Wilde, who started off as a complete novice to gardening and then went on to win a RHS Chelsea Gold Medal.

Throughout the book, Kim clearly explains how to achieve the look you want from your garden by careful planning, what to use in your garden by way of structures, boundaries, paths and patios, lighting and water features.

She takes you through how to choose the right plants by taking into consideration the colour, form and texture by mixing trees, shrubs and ferns together with colourful flowers. All of these could be planted directly into your garden or by using different types of pots and containers.

There is also a very informative chapter on how to prune and take cuttings, together with dividing perennial plants. Also she explains how to control pests and diseases, and how to get the best from your compost and caring for your soil.
