Reviews

Frost, a Chelsea gold-medal winner, and
regular Gardeners' World presenter, is
a hand-holding guide, presenting his advice
in bite-sized chunks.This practical, well
illustrated book is mostly likely to appeal to
the neophyte starting from scratch. But there
is plenty the more experienced can learn from
Frost's detailed designs and planting plans.
