Product Description

Review
"Matthew Wilson is a rising star in the Royal Horticultural Society" The Observer 2006

Product Description
The book first considers how we should garden today and what the new gardening means. Thematic chapters identify the benefits and potential of your site, look at the importance of managing your soil, show why sustainability is important in the garden, show how gardening with wildlife in mind is beneficial for both your garden and biodiversity, looks at plant choice and the horticulture for the world of plants at your disposal (including sections on grass, gardening with little or no water, gardening in shady conditions, gardening in boggy areas or near water), the structural design of your garden and planting design. Endmatter includes a year-round new gardening chart, what plants should go where listed in A-Z form, and a comprehensive glossary and index.

5.0 out of 5 stars A well structured and beautifully written and illustrated book , 28 Sep 2007
By Lulubelle (Suffolk) - See all my reviews
I am an admirer of the author's views on horticulture and the environment and I was certainly not disappointed in his latest book. 'New Gardening' is a practical guide to a way of gardening that is in tune with nature, not against it. The information in the book is accessible and it is gently and beautifully written, with underlying humour and no table thumping. The abundant photographs are attractive, well chosen and many show inspirational and beautiful gardens, plants and plant combinations which added greatly to my enjoyment of the book.

The division into chapters enables the reader to dip in and out with ease.
There are many useful links in the text to other parts of the book and the New Gardening Checklists and the summary Reference chapter at the back are especially useful.

There are plenty of facts and tips.A few I particularly enjoyed were the reference to shoddy for adding to light soil, the errors made at Rosemoor iro double digging, how adding farmyard muck to clay soil is a disaster, the horrors of inorganic fertilizers, how to raise soil levels, grass management ...the list is probably almost endless.

The author's BLOOM Logic is inspirational - you will have to buy the book to learn more!

Every chapter was interesting and I can honestly say that I didn't skim through anything.I like the many references to specific plants in the text. I really like the way border plans are shown with a large photograph, smaller snapshots plus plant names and descriptions. I like that the author occasionally mentions his own favourites and I think other readers will too. The Perfect Partners chapter highlighting groups of plants to suit certain conditions, will prove very useful to all manner of gardeners.

This is a practical and enjoyable read and I highly recommend it to all those interested in gardening and its wider relationship to the environment, at whatever level.

4.0 out of 5 stars An important book for all gardeners, 15 Dec 2008
New Gardening sets out to redefine the RHS' best practice and its author Matthew Wilson, has been at the forefront of shaping this during his time as Harlow Carr's Curator. He looks at how we can garden in harmony with nature whilst reducing our impact on the environment. You may think he's preaching to the converted, but believe me there's plenty of gardeners out there who don't have this enlightened way of thinking if Chippenham's anything to go by. Sustainable it ain't.

The book starts with a look at climate and the soil, a refreshing starting point - these vital elements are often overlooked; then the themes of sustainability, wildlife gardening, and gardening in a drier climate are tackled. Trees, shade and container planting are looked at alongside planting styles, design and planting partners. Each chapter is broken down into a series of sumptuously photographed double page spreads, making it a highly 'dippable' book as well as one to read from cover to cover.

It's not a perfect book - there's concrete alongside rammed-earth raised beds and the planting lists aren't that extensive. However, I believe this makes the book much more approachable for anyone wanting to start to garden in this way who also needs a helping hand to begin. It covers a wide range of topics so I'm also sure there's something in there for all of us.
