Book Description

1 April 2010

Carol Klein is passionate about propagation. Her own garden, Glebe Cottage in Devon, as seen on Gardeners' World, is almost grown entirely from cuttings and seeds and in this book she's on a mission to share her joy in working with nature to cultivate the plants she loves.

Too often gardeners are intimidated by propagation, assume it's not for them and go for ready-grown plants from the garden centre. But Carol, a gifted communicator with her infectious enthusiasm, boundless horticultural expertise and easy practical explanations, shows just how simple and satisfying it is to grow your own plants, not to mention sustainable and cheap. She demonstrates, step-by-step, how to divide herbaceous perennials, nurture seedlings or grow new stock from root cuttings, stems or leaves, showing how there is no mystique involved and anybody can do it.

In Grow Your Own Garden Carol offers a refreshing new approach to propagation, and, just as she did with Grow Your Own Veg, she brings her own unique style to an inspirational, accessible and practical gardening guide that will have great appeal to novices and more experienced gardeners alike.

A well designed and illustrated, clear, practical manual, which is also beautiful and readable enough just to browse. Useful for both novices and experienced gardeners.

5.0 out of 5 stars Propagation poppets 25 April 2010
Format:Hardcover
I perused this item yesterday evening with a cup of tea and can honestly say I passed a very pleasant and enjoyable hour taking in Carol Klein's advice about propagation of all different sorts of plants. Good images with clear instructions means you can increase the stock from your own garden and fill your space or grow to swap or sell on. A definite for the economy-driven gardeners. I shall use mine as a teaching aid for Horticulture. Happy stock increasing to you all!
