Principles of Horticulture
Principles of Horticulture is an excellent introduction to a wide range of aspects of commercial and leisure horticulture. Written in a highly accessible and readable style, this book has already proved invaluable to a broad selection of readers, particularly students on horticulture courses and keen amateur gardeners. It also provides a handy basic reference for professionals.
The latest sixth edition has been fully updated with colour illustrations, modal questions and exercises, and is aligned with the new RHS Certificate in Horticulture. New information is included on practical propagation techniques, garden design, conservation, placing plants, and on basic planting design and bedding plants.
