The RHS Encyclopedia of Gardening certainly lives up to its name – it provides comprehensive information on every gardening subject I can name. A major part of the fascination of gardening is that in problems and potential no one garden is quite like another; and it is in finding the most imaginative solutions to challenges that the gardener demonstrates artistry and finds the subtler levels of satisfaction. It reflects modern best-practice gardening at the Royal Horticultural Society, the world’s leading gardening authority.A photographic gallery illustrates clearly the symptoms of hundreds of pests and diseases for quick identification and control. I used it throughout my studies for an RHS certificate and turn to it often still in my work as a gardener. Although there are sections on propagation in each chapter in the first section, there’s a detailed section here too. At the adult level, it can be as simple as helping to raise a good and edible carrot, and it can give rise to almost parental pride.
