About This Item
New York: Doring Kindersley, 1993. First American Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good; one quarter-inch closed tear. This tome, billing itself as "the definitive practical guide to gardening techniques, planning, and maintenance" lives up to its name both in its encyclopedic nature and in its definitiveness. With over 600 pages and over 3,000 color photographs, this book is full of page after page after page of useful information. Split into 2 parts, "Creating the garden" and "Maintaining the garden," the book guides gardeners through every step in the process. From planning and design to information about different types of gardens and plants, the first section answers any possible question a beginning gardener could have. Part 2 covers tools, equipment, greenhouses, climate, soils and fertilizers, propagation, and more, as well as a list of possible plant problems and how to control them. Each page is replete with pictures and illustrations, including over 400 step-by-step photo sets illustrating techniques. A gorgeous book and fundamental resource.
