Creating your first garden can be a daunting task: where do I begin; what plants will grow in my soil; how do I design a beautiful border or build an ornamental pond? All gardeners, including the very greatest, have been faced with these questions, and all experience the same feelings of confusion about the best plants to grow and techniques to use, and fear of failure if they don't get it right. In this book Professor Stefan Buczacki takes the confusion and fear out of gardening, and shows just how enjoyable the task can be.
Assuming no knowledge whatsoever, he guides you through every stage of the process from deciding what type of garden you want to keeping your lawn in good condition. He explains how to assess the potential of your plot, design the basic garden layout, put down paths, mark out planting areas, build pergolas and trellises, and construct pools and other ornamental features. He also gives essential guidance on planting techniques, and ideas for growing many different kinds of plants in borders, on walls and supports, and in containers. For budding kitchen gardeners he describes the principles of crop rotation and techniques for growing aromatic herbs and delicious fruit and vegetables. There is an invaluable chapter on plant care and maintenance, and a useful calendar of seasonal tasks will enable you to keep your garden in tip-top condition all year round.
