Good companion guide to RHS General Certificate studies
I'm pretty happy with this book. Having decided to do Horticulture studies by correspondence in Switzerland, this book came up when searching for some pre-study material. It is also first book off the list of recommended reading from my school, which I'm pleased to see. It provides further in-depth reading to the course material provided, although my one whinge is that it...

There are not currently enough text books available specifically for horticultural students so this book is a valuable one.

Good improvements in this 4th edition of a popular text, 14 Oct 2005
This new edition of a core text for students of horticulture is welcomed. The addition of colour plates is helpful and the layout has generally improved. I think the book does a difficult job well as the subject is huge and it must be very difficult to decide what to leave out and how much depth to go to. I'm hoping it will help me with the RHS Advanced Cerificate exam.

Good companion guide to RHS General Certificate studies, 21 Dec 2003
I'm pretty happy with this book. Having decided to do Horticulture studies by correspondence in Switzerland, this book came up when searching for some pre-study material. It is also first book off the list of recommended reading from my school, which I'm pleased to see. It provides further in-depth reading to the course material provided, although my one whinge is that it could expand its chapter on pests and diseases as there are so many covered in the course. Happily websites like the RHS help out here. However, this book is fine foundation reading.

principles of horticulture, 8 Jul 2009
The pages listed in the index don't correspond to the actual pages. This obviously renders the index useless which is very unhelpful when trying to look up something specific. Not a terribly professionally edited book. The only thing going for it really is that it covers the RHS syllabus.

User Friendly, 30 Oct 2009
A really helpful book - especially to the novice like me. It follows the RHS qualification and is a great support to the teaching. The book layout is great the pictures and colours aid your learning and digestion of the information which is at times complex.
