Great Gardening Books Come in Small Packages!
A wonderful little marvel of a gardening book which features descriptions and lovely photographs of all the plants you could possibly want to identify, buy or just wish to own. Its great for taking out in the garden and identifying what you already have and even better for taking to the garden centre with you to ensure you are buying the correct plant or shrub for your garden type, size, soil type etc.

Brilliant - just buy it, you wont regret it!

An indispensable book for the inexperienced gardener
This was the first plant book I ever bought, and is still the one I use the most often. It is stuffed full of useful information about must-have plants for the inexperienced (or even experienced!) gardener. Great photos combined with concise descriptions and planting information make this pocket-sized guide a delight. There is also a reference section at the back, with pages of plants to suit different situations, e.g. plants for acid soils, plants for dry sunny walls, plants for damp shade etc.

I started gardening for the first time 3 years ago, armed only with this book and a lot of enthusiasm. I now have a beautiful garden and a large library of plant books, but this little guide is still my 'most-used' reference text. A gem!
