There is no better way to spend a day than pottering in the garden. Whether digging, planting, pruning or simply relaxing and enjoying the fruits of your labours, a garden can do wonders for your body, mind and soul. One of the trickiest parts of horticulture is keeping track of all the tasks required and that’s where this little book comes in. The Pocket Gardener will guide you through the gardening year, season by season. From the first daffodils of spring to the last frosts of winter, each section contains helpful tips, reminders and ‘how-to’s, along with intriguing garden lore and inspiring quotes that will have you itching to pull on your wellies and head out the door. From choosing plants that will attract beneficial insects to making your own eco-friendly weed killer, this practical guide contains all the advice you need to make the most of your garden right through the year.
