The gardening year - Lance Hattatt

THE GARDENING YEAR is the essential book for planning what happens in your garden. In it Lance Hattatt shows how to make the most of your gardening through stages of the year. Each month begins with a display of border plants that can be expected to flower followed by fully illustrated sections on trees and shrubs that will be in bloom at that time. The author covers every aspect of the garden – the ornamental garden, kitchen garden, water garden, rock garden, pots and containers – and advises gardeners on when to take action to achieve the most successful results. Additionally he gives advice on special effects and how a little forethought and planning can produce wonderful combinations, sometimes brilliant sometimes subtle.

Plants are illustrated in exceptional colour artwork and photographs with notes on cultivation, features and special requirements. This book will become indispensable for both the gardener who wants to ensure that the garden is never without interest and also the occasional gardener who simply wants to know what happens when.
