My Thoughts:

This was a great book about gardening. Having a garden myself, it is a wonderful thing to enjoy and be able to get out into it. You don’t have to do a lot out there, sometimes I just like to potter and deadhead a few things, but it takes my mind of everything else and relaxes me. I had never really read a book like this before, but I really learnt a great deal from it. It is one of those handy guides which is small enough to fit in a bag too. It covers a wide range of subjects, the best part I found is what flowers are good in which soil and environment and to plan a garden is great if you have just got into gardening. I thought it practical and handy guide to gardening. Great for a gardening lover.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
