5.0 out of 5 stars How to become a gardener without spending a fortune!, 23 Aug 2002
By A Customer
As usual, Dr Hessayon goes straight to the heart of the matter. This excellent little book tells you everything you need to know to become a gardener. In only 128 pages the author tells you all the essentials, from what a garden is through to pest control. He stops on the way to tell you how to test and improve your soil, how to identify plants that will thrive in it, how to categorise the plants and what those categories mean (climbers, perennials, annuals, biennials, rockery plants, bulbs, roses, trees, fruit, vegetables), which tools and equipment you need and how to look after them, gardening techniques such as watering and pinching out, how to cope with weeds, pests and diseases, greenhouse gardening, water gardening, and garden design, ending with a section on non-living features such as patios and fences. There is a contents list and the book is heavily illustrated in colour. It is exceptionally reader-friendly and is designed to enable the reader to go straight to the relevant section without having to plough through pages of text first. Don't spend a fortune on other books if you're a beginner - just get this one!

3.0 out of 5 stars The Garden Expert, 9 Sep 2003
By A Customer
This book covers the basics of gardening and does not give any in-depth information. Although it was useful I then had to go out and buy other books about gardening to get specific information. To be fair it is such a big subject that it would be difficult to cover everything you need to know in one small book. Having said that, I found it quite irritating that everytime I tried to get information on a subject e.g. trees, I was given very basic information and then told to buy his book that was specific for that subject.
