4.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable for the first-time gardener., 23 Feb 1999
By A Customer
I like to think I have a life outside weeding. With this book, maybe I can have.

I know nothing about gardening and have very little time or inclination to spend on a garden. But, like everybody, I want my garden to be welcoming, relaxing, beautiful and, most importantly, simple to maintain. This book has invaluable tips and suggestions on how to create a garden which fits that bill.

There are descriptions of time-saving garden designs and techniques which I found very helpful. But best of all are the lists of easy-care plants suitable for every situation. I simply decided which ones I liked best and popped down to the garden centre - no longer intimated by their vast array of choice. The book's only draw back is that not every plant is illustrated.

All of my new plants are thriving, with little help from me, and for the first time I am looking forward to seeing what comes up in the spring as I am confident it will not be the usual range of weeds.

A great book, which I strongly recommend to beginners - and those with other things on their mind than bedding plants!

5.0 out of 5 stars Some fantastic photos evidence and some very good information, 5 Nov 2006
By P. I. Wellman "piw" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This was one of the first Dr Hessayon books I bought and still look at it for reference.

I didn't really know much about gardening and what I did was probably from the TV.
But when we moved to our house we gained a big garden and I thought Id better get into gardening pretty quick.

I wanted to do something with it, as there is nothing worse than concrete everywhere.

The book has great tips and suggestion on how to start to make your garden.

Some fantastic photos evidence and some very good information

The sections range from soil, climate & weather, plants and planting and troubles you may come across.

There is a great section on Soils, which covers improving you soil, either by drainage, applying dressings and fertilizers.

Another section covers plants and bulbs, how and what are the best to use.

The book covers climbers, shrubs, trees, fruit trees, roses, how to look after them and how to feed them etc

Annual & biennials are covered very well and also planting and planting methods.

What tools are best for what job are covered.

Greenhouse gardening is covered in a small section, and also a section on water gardening is also covered.

There is a good piece on "troubles" which covers soil pests, fruit problems & weed control.

The "gallery of garden weeds" is fantastic it has drawing of weeds so making it easy to identify & also how to destroy them.

A great book which covers mostly everything you should need to help you get your garden up and running, covering a huge range of things like layering, taking cuttings, mulching and protecting form harsh winter frosts.

4.0 out of 5 stars High standard. Large print. Lacks info on weeds., 10 Sep 2000
By A Customer
Well up to the usual high standard of the Hessayon 'Expert' books. Even more useful for many readers, as the print is larger than in the other books in the series. It's a pity the publishers don't make a point of mentioning this. Contains everything I needed to get me started, except it's poor on the subject of weeds! When I moved from a flat to a house with a garden, I didn't know which plants were ornamental, and which were weeds. Unfortunately, this book didn't help, and I had to get one on wild flowers. I learned a lot about them, anyway!
