5.0 out of 5 stars A good basic introduction for horticulture students, 11 Nov 2000

By A Customer

I have recently completed a BSc (HONS) in Horticulture and found this book to be a useful (basic)introduction to the subject. The book covers many of the important topics covered in more scientific detail in the degree. However, the book would be most useful to diploma students, or, for people considering doing a course on the subject and keen to find out more.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Introductory Text, 15 May 2006

By	Rob Newton (UK) - See all my reviews

I used this book when studying for the RHS General Certificate and found it to be excellent for that purpose.
The book is A4 in size and has the feel of a lecturers own personal notes. The text is large with useful diagrams and summaries. This text is a general introduction and as such is not detailed enough for students on the more advanced RHS courses.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Aid to Revision, 2 Jan 2008

By	Geoff RG "Geoff RG" (UK) - See all my reviews

I used this to revise for my RHS General Cert course in 2000.
Excellent for that purpose, as it gives concise summaries, relates to the syllabus (check which edition you buy! Not always obvious on the Amazon book site) and self-test sections reveal how much you really know!
Personally I did not use it as an intro to horticulture as I wanted to learn the subject, not simply cram myself through an exam (and I doubt it will do that for you anyway). I have over 2 metres of bookshelf on the detail, many via Amazon, plus about 200 hours of personal note-taking and handouts including a vast bibliography, from course tutor, C M Walkden. Also access to Writtle College Library was invaluable.
I still refer to the Handbook for guidance.
