Review
The sheer joy and satisfaction of gardening comes through a friendly written text and a variety of photographs and drawings. (English 4-11 )

I enjoyed this delightful book. The combined expertise of the authors, gardening expert Stefan Buczacki and his wife Beverley, herself a primary school head, makes this a superb tool for encouraging budding gardeners and nurturing an understanding and love of the natural world. This book is nicely laid out according to the seasons, with child friendly text and lots of fun illustrations. (English Garden )

This is just the book for a serious young gardener. The authors, who certainly know their subject, stress the fun and satisfaction and how you don't have to be at it all the the time... There is so much of interest here, with projects for every size of garden... I heartily recommend it for all the family. (Carousel )
