Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Two million people tune in to Britain's best-loved gardening programme on BBC Radio 4 every week of the year, to hear a panel of experts - including Matthew Biggs, John Cushnie, Bob Flowerdew and Bunny Guinness - solve their gardening problems. Inspired by the programme's popular 'Plant of the Week' feature, 'Gardener's Question Time Plant Chooser' is the ultimate reference guide to achieving your garden's all-time best, all year round. The authors have chosen some 700 species, and many more varieties, representing plants that will flourish in temperate gardens of the northern hemisphere - flowers, fruits, vegetables, annuals, biennials, perennials, shrubs, trees and more - in all their diverse glory. With the same originality and humour that distinguish their inimitable broadcasting styles, the authors' voices shine through, making this not only an extremely approachable reference, but also a personal, opinionated exchange between Britain's favourite gardening experts.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

This book has a week-by-week approach, detailing species and varieties of plants when they are at their best throughout the year. John Cushnie loves the cones on the Korean Fir in January, Bunny Guinness admires the Lenten Rose in March, Matthew Biggs is beguiled by the 'sleek willowy elegance' of the Corn Cockle in May, Bob Flowerdew celebrates the Victoria Plum at the beginning of September - the voices of the authors are clearly heard, making this not only a valuable reference, but a personal, opinionated conversation with some of Britain's favourite gardeners. Each comprehensive entry gives the plant's preferred soil and situation, its hardiness, eventual height and spread, flowering season and special features and, most importantly, the reason the author believes this to be a fantastic addition to the garden.
