Seeds of Wisdom Summary

Seeds of Wisdom: A Handful of Seasonal Tips from Britain's Head Gardeners by Val Bourne (WRITER)

Professional gardeners share their many years of experience at the head of some of Britain's leading gardens such as Penhurst Place, Tatton Park, Gresgarth Hall, Crathes Castle, Barton Manor, Highgrove, Great Dixter and Wisley. This anthology of topical tips and advice, taken from the weekly "Telegraph" column, includes how to make a simple cold frame, combating leginess in pelargoniums, reviving tired evergreen shrubs and growing kniphofias.

Seeds of Wisdom Reviews

A popular column in Saturday's "Daily Telegraph" gardening section, "Seeds of Wisdom" offers tit-bits of invaluable advice from Britain's top gardeners. From National Trust gardens, private homes, castles and manor houses, all the contributors look after beautifully maintained gardens or run nurseries producing top class plants and are thus in an admirable position to dispense top class horticultural advice. Divided into seasons, editor Val Bourne has produced a dip-in-and-read book, ideal for the bedside of any gardener. Every tip is valuable - some commonsense, some quirky, some obvious, all useful to gardeners in every situation. Green gardening, houseplants, pruning, seed sowing - every imaginable topic is covered within its attractively illustrated pages. A wonderful, frequently amusing book which would be an ideal gift for gardeners of all abilities. - Lucy Watson
