Description
A visit to the garden centre to buy new plants can be exciting but expensive, so it is essential to know what will thrive in your patch and how to give your new acquisitions a good start. In this practical guide, readers with little previous experience are shown how to create the garden they want by choosing the right plants for the job, as well as how to care and maintain them for years to come. From anemones to peonies, poppies to red-hot-pokers, the most popular garden plants form the basis of the book and are accompanied by special features such as growing flowers for cutting, training roses and establishing a hedge.
