Heavy book excellent pictures of plants
My advice would be get the book for a complete guide to garden flower it is heavy and not easy to just flick through to size. The plants guide inside uses the botanical name of the plant for examples poppies are listed as Palaver , nasturtiums are listed as Tropaeolum. The detail of plants 5*Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Gardeners delight
I had a copy of this book for years and it was getting very dog-eared as well as being nibbled by my Boxer dog puppy a few years ago. The new version is wonderful and is one of the best garden books - my tatty copy was donated to a friend who loves looking at the picture. It is my book of choice when planning planting beds and researching whether the plant/tree is suitable for my gardenVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
