The "Royal Horticultural Society Encyclopedia of Plants and Flowers" is an authoritative encyclopedia that no keen gardener should be without. Its value lies in its lay-out, which divides plants into categories by type, size, colour and season, enabling plants to be identified in a series of quick steps without the need for any expert knowledge. Plants for a particular situation can be chosen from the Plant Catalogue or by using the extremely useful Plant Selector section which groups plants together by their specific features. The Plant Dictionary offers information on cultivation and propagation for over 8,000 plants suitable for temperate gardens worldwide. |
