Publisher's Synopsis
"Don't worry. This isn't a garden makeover book that'll convince you to put decking over every plant you see nor will it teach you how to spot your Symphoricarpos albus from your Cladonia rangiferina. "Create your dream garden" is a practical insider's guide to help you identify what you want from your garden, what's practical for you to achieve and most importantly what you can do that's (relatively) low maintenance. You won't end up with a degree in horticulture, but you will have a garden that delights and blooms!" Mark Hillsden, Jeremy Cook and Anna Marsden. Here are 52 blooming ideas to get your garden looking beautiful and how to keep on top of it all without breaking your hoe in two. The authors reveal: How to design without the despair; Why paying the nursery doesn't pay; How to slug it out; Easy lessons in pruning; How to improve that moss and clover infested area some call a lawn; The real way to deal with weeds - perhaps even live with them; Making a garden fun for kids.
