This gardening series is written for amateurs by master gardeners with clear, expert advice, boxed features and time-saving tips. In this volume, Fred Downham explores the various methods of raising plants, including sowing seeds, division, stem and root cuttings and layering. The author lists tools and equipment needed, and a third of the book is devoted to a comprehensive A-Z of plants, methods of propagation and the degree of difficulty likely to be experienced with a particular variety.
