Full Description
"Britain's Greatest Gardeners" distills the wisdom of Britain's top gardeners, the men and women who look after the gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society. The book ties in to a 6-part series on BBC2, presented by Rachel de Thame, and details everything covered in the programme and more besides - from how the experts produce a perfect punnet of strawberries to how they restore their beautiful lawns after thousands of visitors have reduced them to mud. Divided into eight chapters - Roses; Perennials and Grasses; Lawns; Edibles; Water; Climbers; Trees and Shrubs; and Pests, Diseases and Weeds - the book covers the principal aspects of gardening. The text is peppered with RHS know-how tips and each chapter includes a step-by-step masterclass by a top RHS expert covering a practical aspect of gardening.
