Gardens for Free by Geoff Bryant

An amateur's guide to professional propagation techniques. There is a common misconception that growing plants from seeds or cuttings is like alchemy - a blend of science and magic - but this volume seeks to dispel the myth and show gardeners of all levels how to produce plants that are as good as, if not better than those available from the nursery. Geoff Bryant explains the three main methods of propagation (seeds, cuttings and division) in detail, and there are lists showing which method is best for specific plants. The text also covers how to care for newly propagated plants and what pests and diseases to look out for.
Geoff Bryant is a professional nurseryman and Head Propagator at a major evergreen azalea nursery. He is currently involved in developing his own range of plant hybrids.
