Illustrated Garden Glossary
The Illustrated Garden Glossary is a comprehensive glossary of over 1000 terms related to gardening and horticulture, each supported by superb colour illustrations to aid understanding.
The topics covered include plant classification, morphology and growth; plants from seeds; propagation; soil; compost; planting systems; pruning; pests and diseases; water and more. It also explores terms relating to the history of gardens, from ancient Greece and Egypt, to gardens across Asia and the Middle East, and through to our modern-day urban farms.
The Illustrated Garden Glossary is a must-have reference for gardeners, plant scientists, horticulturalists, students, libraries, ecologists and urban farmers.
