Description |
First published in 1952, and reprinted in numerous subsequent editions, The
Small Garden has been the gardening bible for an entire generation. Not only
does it cover every conceivable topic, but it is written in a remarkably
straightforward way. No other gardening book is so admirably geared towards
the ordinary gardener: the enthusiastic amateur with an average-sized
garden. Frances Lincoln is pleased to be reissuing this classic in 2005. The
Small Garden contains everything the amateur gardener needs to know, on
subjects as diverse as propagation techniques and rock garden design,
greenhouse management and hedge planting, fruit varieties and pruning roses.
There is also much-needed general information on plant cultivation, a
month-by-month breakdown of garden tasks and a jargon-busting glossary of
gardening terms. |
