Review # 1 was written on 2014-07-21 00:00:00 Dean Chen More reviews (and no fluff) on the blog Gardening Secrets by the National Trust is a collection of tips from the gardeners of some of the greatest estates in the UK. Each gardener shortly discuses one small subject - from potting to soils - and each is suitable only for residents of the UK (specific to climate and conditions). The topics are diverse and there are quite a few of them: ferns, labeling, summer bedding, topiary, winter interest, pruning roses and trees, labelling, mixed border, wild flower meadows, composting, weed control without chemicals, plant propagation, soft fruit, kitchen garden, and more. Although the tips are brief they are very informative and in depth. There are discussions, call outs, and then each section ends with tips. In all, some very interesting topics and tips for UK residents. Reviewed from an ecopy provided by the publisher.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-09-09 00:00:00 Gabriel Ferrari I am a beginning gardener and even though this book is about gardening in Great Britain and some of the plants and animals mentioned are not found in the US, I still found this to be an informative and helpful book. The book is easy to read and interesting and I learned several things that will help me with my gardens. I received this book to review from Netgalley and I highly recommend it.
