Gardening Tips and Techniques
Tips for selecting healthy plants and detecting potentially unhealthy ones; planting them correctly; pruning trees, shrubs, and other woody plants; and propagating new plants by various methods.
Conservatory and Houseplants
Living rooms and conservatories provide the opportunity to grow tender plants that won't survive outside, and by using a lively mix of the well-known and the rare, you can create a dash of the tropics.
Perennials
Tips for gardening with perennials including choosing perennials; caring for perennials; and propagating perennials.
Shrubs and Climbers
Shrubs provide permanent structure and add height to your garden, while also offering flowers, foliage, and fragrance. Choose plants carefully, and make sure they match the site, soil, and space available.
Garden Trees
Trees can be used to denote an outer boundary, to signal the entrance to a completely different part of the garden, or to act as the focal point within a specific area, encapsulating its style and mood.
Herbs
You may think of a particular herb like sweet basil as a delicious cooking herb, only to discover its value in the garden as a companion plant for deterring pests from tomato plants or its ability to act as a fly repellent when planted in pots for the home.
Gardening Books
Highly recommended gardening books about perennials, garden trees, houseplants, shrubs and climbers, roses, bulbs, fuschias, annuals and biennials.
