Gardeners' Question Time: All Your Gardening Problems Solved (BBC Radio 4)
More than perhaps any other program, Gardeners' Question Time embodies the essence of Radio Four. When researching the program, it appeared that over the years there were just 400 or so questions, or variants of questions, which cover 95% of all the those asked. The book is a compilation of those questions and answers, under headings such as Pests & Diseases, Fruits, Vegetables, Ornamentals, and Trees & Shrubs.
Gardens Through Time: Celebrate 200 Years of Gardening with the Royal Horticultural Society
Gardens Through Time celebrates 200 years of gardening—the people, the ideas, and the inventions behind the passion. Jane Owen and Diarmuid Gavin follow in the footsteps of the gardeners, designers, and botanists of the past to examine how their work and ideas have influenced the designs of today. This richly illustrated volume explores the trend-setting gardens of seven key periods in garden history—from the picturesque and rustic style of Regency gardens, through the ostentatious bedding displays and exotic plant collections of the Victorians, up to the 20th century’s “outdoor rooms.”
I loved this book - incredibly interesting and informative but surprisingly easy to read. A beautifully written book which everyone should own - an excellent present
