3.0 out of 5 stars A good stocking filler for a keen gardener, 18 Dec 2008
This is a neat and compact little book full of hints and tips from 25 National Trust Head Gardeners, plus staff from the Parks and Gardens Department at the Trust's headquarters in Swindon. Between them all there must be decades, if not centuries of gardening expertise at our disposal.

The National Trust looks after 200 historically important gardens of varying sizes and types, including internationally important ones such as Stourhead and Hidcote. All are managed on a shoestring of permanent staff, aided and abetted by an army of volunteers. So whilst the scale of the gardens on the whole are the stuff of our dreams, the day to day problems and garden care they face are the same as any of us have.

The book is divided into 3 key sections - Planting and Maintenance, Fruit and Vegetables and Green Gardening. Each contributor takes a specialist topic, usually of particular relevance to the garden they look after, within these sections. Care has been taken to ensure the advice and expertise is relevant to any garden.

Each mini-section is a just few pages long, but is packed with information and has a highlighted Tips section at the end. Unfortunately there are no illustrations, but the short-section approach goes a little way to overcome this drawback.

A pocket sized book that not only has a lot of information, but also provides an insight in the role of the National Trust in looking after those gardens we love to visit.
