I have gardened for years , so the book wasn’t exactly for me. Yet, I loved the pictures and the mindful moments in each chapter
This book would be perfect for beginner gardeners. Each chapter is a month of the year and gives ideas on what to grow and propagate.
It is a beautiful book.
I follow the author on Facebook and enjoy her posts

4 stars for the great propagation chart! Otherwise 3 stars for a nice basic book for beginner to intermediate gardeners. In the US recommended for temperate climate areas with similar planting conditions to moderate-weather areas of England.

Saw some new plants and learned new ways to propagate plants I already own. Excellent calendar at the end of the book showing how and when to divide/take cuttings.
