Book present for a working gardener
Hi
My girlfriend works as a gardener for the National Trust. I'd like to get her a book on gardening for her birthday (romance eh!) but there are so many choices I'd like to run some ideas past you in case any of the options aren't as good as they seem Which of these do you think will be the most informative/useful choice - dry and technical is fine - dry and not actually very useful will hit the bin :-) Wood and Garden: Notes and Thoughts, Practical and Critical, of a Working Amateur by Gertrude Jekyll http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-lis...&condition=new Botany for Gardeners by Brian Capron http://www.amazon.co.uk/Botany-Garde...=pd_rhf_shvl_3 Science and the Garden: The Scientific Basis of Horticultural Practice by David S. Ingram http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1...ref=sib_rdr_dp Applied Principles of Horticultural Science by Laurie Brown http://www.amazon.co.uk/Applied-Prin.../dp/0750653426 RHS Pruning and Training by Christopher Brickell http://www.amazon.co.uk/RHS-Pruning-.../dp/1405300736 As the garden she works in is Victorian there's also the option of books from that period. Any recommendations on that front? Thanks for any help Tim -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/lusername/ http://www.timdenning.myby.co.uk/ |
