improve your technique, step by step
develop your confidence

Gardening is perhaps the most widespread leisure pursuit in this country. The boom in garden centres and television gardening programmes attest to the public's voracious appetite for ideas and knowledge - but where do first time and inexperienced gardeners begin?

Teach Yourself Gardening gives clear, comprehensive information presented in simple terms but with ambitious aims. It will appeal to the reader looking for an affordable, non-gimmicky approach, which will deliver. The book will explain the basic techniques and will, in addition, cover garden design, propogation and growing vegetables.
