WIN! THE ESSENTIAL PLANT GUIDE
You can’t always judge a book by its cover, or title for that matter. However, after thumbing through the pages of this tome, at Garden-NZ we could almost see our thumbs becoming greener!
Yes, this book certainly lives up to its name, but its beauty is more than skin deep. Loaded with detailed information about 2000 of the world’s most popular plants and 1800 colour photos across more than 830 pages, The Essential Plant Guide is, well, essential for any keen gardener.
This comprehensive reference features every plant group, from trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals to vegetables, herbs, bulbs and climbers. The plants are arranged alphabetically by genus within each group, with information on the habitat, appearance and cultivation of each.
It also contains advice about planting and preparing the garden, handy lists of plants suitable for all types of growing conditions. And every genus entry comes with a table of the most popular species and cultivars.
Designed to take the guesswork out of choosing the right plants for the garden, The Essential Plant Guide is a fully revised, edition of the bestselling The Ultimate Plant Book.
