Product Description

Review

fantastic . . . a joy to read, and the best book for up to date growing methods of greenhouse crops and house plants (Belfast Newsletter )

... the tone is light and genuinely informative. Everything you need is there - rearing flowers and vegetables for outdoors, growing flowers and vegetables under glass, progation, composts and so on (Times )

[Anne Swithinbank]'s knowledge of growing house and conservatory plants is encyclopaedic ... the photographs support the text by underlining this is a real person's greenhouse, one that any of us could emulate (Gardens Illustrated )


Amateur Gardening, 16th September 2006

A really good clear book about greenhouse gardening that will help
you get started and as your experience increases, will serve as a reference
book for many years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic easy to understand read, 9 Jun 2008
By K. MCKIE (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book as I'm a novice to greenhouse gardening. This book is a must for others like me. It is written in an easy to understand manner and is structured so that you can pick out the sections you want or need without having to wade through endless pages of the stuff you don't want - not that there are any pages in the book that are surplus to requirements! The illustrations and photographs are very helpful too. The author doesn't use jargon or techno speak beyond the understanding of beginners and manages to instill the belief that greenhouse gardening is quite achievable for anyone who wants to have a go. Full of tips on what you need and don't need to buy also. An excellent book overall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greenhouse Gardener, 5 May 2009
By Andrea Smith (Bucks, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am very pleased with this book. Having bought my first greenhouse I needed something to cover the basics as well as a great overall book. It is exactly what it says in the title - and is the only book I will need on this subject. Excellent.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lovely but ..., 16 Mar 2009
By Collgirl (Hebrides, Scotland) - See all my reviews
Very lush and beautiful photos but not very easy to work out the practicalities of gardening in a greenhouse. A bit too much of a coffee table book for me.
