RHS Encyclopedia of Plants And Flowers

This sixth edition of the RHS Encyclopedia of Plants and Flowers is a testament to the continuing value of this reference for gardeners. It is nearly 20 years since the first edition was published, and this special work continues to earn its place on any bookshelf. Throughout the history of the RHS, we have endeavoured to make information available to all on every aspect of horticulture. What makes this encyclopedia so special, is the breadth of its appeal to both beginners and experienced gardeners. As a reference work, it covers all the key areas of how to create a garden and provides detailed plant profiles in its extensive A–Z dictionary. It is the plant catalogue, however, that really gives this book its wide reach, removing barriers to accessing information and providing inspiration for all gardeners. Structured according to garden use, plant form, colour and size, this section allows readers to find the plants they need without any prior horticultural knowledge. The detailed descriptions, accurate naming and cultivation advice is of use to everyone. In all, this is the ideal introduction to garden plants and how to use them.
