Product Description
Product Description
You can't beat just-picked strawberries, raspberries and crunchy crisp apples for taste and wholesome nutrition. In "Grow Your Own Fruit", Royal Horticultural Society experts reveal the skills you need to nurture 40 different fruits from plot to plate. With her usual energy and enthusiasm, Carol Klein offers green-fingered advice for growing all your appetizing favourites plus less familiar fruits such as lemons, figs, olives and elderberries. Her approach is environmentally friendly and easy, giving all the help you need to succeed. Beginners and experienced gardeners alike will be inspired by the RHS wisdom that makes this an indispensable fruit reference for every gardener's bookshelf.

Always keen to inspire others, she has become a familiar face on gardening TV, joining the Gardeners' World team in 2005. Her passion for growing plants is infectious. In Grow Your Own Fruit she rediscovers the joy of providing organic food for her family and delights in sharing her experience with first timers and old hands alike.

After having bought this book as a preent for someone else, to go with their Carol Klein series, I decided that the explanations and photographs used were so clear and understandable that I have decided to purchase another book for myself, even though I have others on the subject!
