Every gardener wants a garden that looks good all year round. Maintaining a garden in optimum condition requires different approaches at different times of year. Here Steven Bradley offers comprehensive advice on every aspect of seasonal care and maintenance, from introducing new plants, propagation and pruning to soil management and lawn care. He guides you expertly through the gardening year. Spring is the busiest time; everything must be done immediately and weeds make up for a winter of dormancy. Summer is a time of prolific growth - plants require constant staking, feeding and watering. Autumn is the time for assessment and planning, and the garden must be made ready for winter.
