The Horticulture Gardener's Desk Reference is a virtual library of practical and unusual gardening information. Unlike standard gardening references, this book is encyclopedic, providing resources for plant societies, botanic gardens and arboreta, weather prediction tables, even calendars based on ancient Celtic and Chinese growing seasons -- all the garden facts imaginable.But the Horticulture Gardener's Desk Reference is not merely a compendium of the unusual. It contains up-to-date sections on garden design, planting and propagation, watering, fertilization, and pruning all types of plants and trees. The book's straightforward organization and detailed index make the information readily accessible, saving gardeners the time and aggravation of looking through lots of separate books to find the answers to their questions.
