A practical gardening encyclopedia from the Royal Horticultural Society — the one-volume reference for planning, planting, pruning, composting, and keeping a garden thriving.

It covers the whole year and the whole plot: choosing plants that suit a space, designing a border for color in every season, protecting the vegetables from pests.

A grounding gift for a new gardener, or for someone who has just taken on a patch of their own.

For the gardener at any level. The book that stays on the potting bench.
