Garden practices and their science (1st)

Written in a clear and accessible style, 'Garden Practices and Their Science' guides gardeners in the practical arts of plant husbandry and in their understanding of its underpinning principles.

The author, Professor Geoff Dixon, is an acknowledged and internationally respected horticulturist and microbiologist; he intertwines these arts and principles carefully, expertly leading readers from one to the other.

Achieving the manipulation of plant life is described in eight full-colour, well-illustrated chapters covering the growing of potatoes, bulb onions, legumes, small-seeded vegetables, soft fruit, bulbs and herbaceous ornamentals in great detail.
