RRP was $89.95

Hard Cover - Heavy & Large

Gardeners are given the technical knowledge required to paint a garden picture, and then the necessary plant information to give substance to their vision. The detailed but easily accessible text takes the gardener through the steps of garden design, plant selection and plant cultivation and care.

THE ART OF GARDENING beings with an intriguing discussion on creating a garden, incorporating detailed plans and discussion of six classical garden styles, their landscape use and the plants commonly associated with them. A plant register then presents over 5000 plans from old favourites to recent introductions, not only describing the plants but including information on their diverse ornamental abilities, growth habits, cultural needs and gardenscape potential. The register has been divided into different sections, from the trees, shrubs and climbing vines that ornament and provide the structural and architectural needs of the garden, through to the flowering perennials, annuals and bulbs that beautify the lower levels of the garden scene.

More than 500 colour photographs and drawings illustrated this lavish and enduring resource, which will provide readers with a rich fun of information and inspiration.
