Collins easy gardening - Richard Jackson

Collins Easy Gardening arms gardeners with the knowledge to succeed and puts the rewards and pleasures of gardening within everyone's reach. It's packed with practical advice, based on the real experience of two prominent, popular gardening writers.

Collins Easy Gardening covers all aspects of gardening that interest today's gardeners - from growing plants in containers to ideas for low maintenance - without dwelling too long on the traditional techniques that have lost favour with busy gardeners. Packed with planting ideas and expert tips, it shows how to achieve results quickly and easily. The authors deal with problem solving in a down to earth manner, so that keeping weeds in order and pests and diseases at bay can be seen as simple routine rather than a difficult chore. With its recommended plant varieties and practical suggestions for making the most of everything, from roses to hanging baskets, this book provides readers with all they need to know to become expert gardeners.

Richard Jackson presents Meridian TV's popular Grass Roots. He also writes for BBC Gardeners' World magazine. Carolyn Hutchinson is a freelance journalist and writes for many magazines, including Practical Gardening and Garden Answers.
