Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

As a printed guide, the Royal Horticultural Society Plant Finder has been a staple reference book for many years. Its job is to list nurseries and suppliers of plants from the everyday to the exotic, and any gardener with an interest slightly out of the ordinary has a copy on their shelves. The CD-ROM version of the Plant Finder adds a great deal of value to the printed one. Most importantly, the Plant Finder database is far easier to search. Its information on 70,000 plants is flicked through in an instant, to provide full contact details of suppliers.

Second, the Plant Finder comes with a whole host of extra features. Among them is the RHS "Good Plant Guide", a searchable database of popular garden plants to help with plant selection. There are also various Royal Horticultural Society lists--a list of garden societies with various specialisms, another of UK gardens managed by the likes of the National Trust, English Heritage and RHS, and the RHS Award of Garden Merit checklist--a selection of top-rated garden plants that can be used to help choose some for your own plot.

It might not have quite the same aura as a gardening book you can flick through, but the RHS Plant Finder 2000-2001 is a real treasure trove of information, and has plenty that keen amateur gardeners at all levels should find of value. --Sandra Vogel

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply excellent!, 21 Sep 2001

By	Ms. Sally J. Hayward "SallyJ" (Basingstoke) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a "must-have" product for anyone planning their garden. It has a plant-finder which includes 57 lists plants for different places - full details of the plants and colour photos which can be displayed as a slide-show. Once you have selected your plants you can print lists, see a slide-show of your selected plants and find nurseries or plant centres that can supply them. An absolutely invaluable reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars RHS Plant Finder 2000 - 2001, 5 Dec 2001

By	S. J. Turner "sally_jane" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are a serious plant seeker or need to sorce plants professionally then this is an ideal piece of kit. Easier to use than the on-line version although not so up-to-date.

1.0 out of 5 stars RHS Plantfinder 2000-2001, 14 Aug 2001

By	Raymond Hewitt (mableandray@bigfoot.com) (Bedford, England.) - See all my reviews

I find this plant guide difficult to use, and not very helpful. I thought it would have more information on caring for plants and planting instructions, sites etc. Probably only helpful to those who are professional gardeners.Very disappointing.
