The American Horticultural Society Encyclopedia of Gardening
Editors-in chief: Christopher
Brickell and Elvin McDonald
This is not another encyclopedia
of garden plants, but rather a detailed how-to
encyclopedia of gardening techniques, garden planning and
garden maintenance. Christopher Brickell, Director of the
Royal Horticultural Society in England, and Elvin
McDonald, a director at the American Horticultural
Society in New York, have brought together an
international team of more than 50 distinguished
horticulturists to provide the most detailed and
up-to-date information on gardening available. This 9.5" x
12" book has 648 pages of step-by-step instructions
for everything you need to know to create and maintain an
attractive garden, from transplanting trees to
hybridizing roses. The text is lavishly illustrated with
more than 3000 specially commissioned color photographs
and hundreds of color drawings detailing gardening
techniques in step-by-step sequences.
