Gardening

I checked this out because I'm interested in making essences and extracts from scratch, and I thought a book about working from the garden might have some of that, as opposed to just how to mix storebought essential oils. It has a couple of from-scratch recipes, but probably 3/4 of the scent instructions still involve buying premade essential oils. Which is not exactly working from the kitchen and garden. I am planning on trying the few ideas that were related to what I'm interested in, though.

many ideas given

Encyclopedic reference book for small gardens.

Brief section on design and then more substantial sections on hard landscaping, boundaries, rock and water gardens and very esxtensive sections on choosing plants, planning and planting beds and borders, choosing specific plants for specific purposes and incorporating a kitchen garden.

Extensive (200pp) section on container gardening forms section two of the book.
