ABOUT THE BOOK
Gardening isn't rocket science-that's the premise of this book, which encourages readers to put on their Wellingtons and take to heart the following nine principles:

• When you're in the garden, life is good
• There is no such thing as a green thumb
• Untilled soil quickly grows wild
• Going organic is easy
• Make room for mistakes
• Growing a garden is also about enjoying life
• Prune-or don't
• You don't need a strong man to help you
• This is all you need to know

A NOVICE IN THE GARDEN makes gardening manageable and imparts useful knowledge on how to grow a lovely flowerbed or start a small vegetable garden, in addition to providing information about soil, water, fertilizers, pregermination, gardening tools, and tips for a visit to the plant nursery.

Chapters include:

Gardening Basics

Flowers

Eat your Garden

Inspiration & Tips
