Books for gardeners

Greenhouses seem to be making a comeback this year, I've had two requests from clients for greenhouses or cold frames and this book is perfect for anyone interested in growing with a greenhouse. "The Greenhouse Book" is by Tom Brown, published by Dorling Kindersley, and deservedly won a prize recently at the British Garden Media Guild. The book is clearly laid out by topic, from everything to “the anatomy of a greenhouse” to overwintering tender plants, how to lay a path in a greenhouse and much more. Tom Brown is the head Gardener at West Dean, a garden in Sussex in the UK with huge grounds as well as 13 Victorian greenhouses. He writes clearly and directly, he’s very knowledgeable, but manages to keep it accessible too. West Dean Gardens | Places to Visit Chichester West Sussex
