Gardening Dictionary -
what a bargain at
£13.59! If you only ever buy one book about gardening then this should be the one. A veritable "bible" written by the Professor himself. Prof Boo-Chatski, (that's how it's pronounced) has produced a very cool and comprehensive book covering everything from design, equipment and plants. There are sections for gardening with children and advice for disabled people, there is even a picture of me! Despite this, it is a bestseller, and I thoroughly recommend it. |

Best Book About "Women"
| Never let it be said that fredshed is sexist! One of my favorite books
is "The Illustrated Virago Book of Women Gardeners". A fine little paperback full of amusing anecdotes about growing Petunias and other such
girlie things. (Despite the title I was a bit disappointed by the complete lack of babes, no sign of Charlie Dimmock and not even a snap of Rachel de Thame! Maybe in the next edition? |
