Having moved to France recently, with the purpose of establishing a garden, I found my french language skills were not up to the job when it came to talking about trees, plants and flowers, ordering them and requesting information etc.
This small book, which fits in the pocket perfectly, proved well worth the money. No nonsense, just did what it said on the cover. Nice appended lists at back of book relating to birds, butterflies and medicinal plants. Latin names included throughout for those who want to get technical.
Have bought this book as a present for other gardeners, French and English, and it has been well received. Perfect reading material for when you are sitting back surveying all your hard "Jardinage" over a glass of wine.
