About this title

Review:

Written by an associate professor of horticulture and master gardener, this cuts through the myths and explains why. --The English Garden

I liked this book, with its good-humoured, pragmatic approach and its quirky layout - it's a great bedside or kitchen table book for dipping into. --The Professional Gardener
