INTRODUCTION
"RHS Gardening School: Everything You Need to Know to Get the Most from Your Garden" is a comprehensive handbook for gardeners of all levels—beginners, hobbyists, or those wanting to deepen their horticultural skills. Co-authored by Simon Akeroyd and Dr Ross Bayton, the revised 2022 edition comes from the expertise of the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society).
The book covers a broad range of topics essential for successful gardening in a single volume. It begins with the basics: understanding plants, light, soil, climate, and plant biology. It then moves to practical skills like planting trees and shrubs, growing vegetables and fruits, caring for lawns, pruning, maintenance, propagation, and managing pests and diseases. Each subject is accompanied by step-by-step guides, clear photographs, and illustrations that make complex tasks accessible.
What sets this work apart is not only its scope but its approach: it combines scientific knowledge (botany, taxonomy) with practical, hands-on advice and design tips. It also emphasizes problem-solving—how to diagnose common plant issues, adapt to changing seasons, garden under cover, and design outdoor spaces. This makes it invaluable as a reference and practical manual. Overall, this is an inspiring and instructional title for anyone wishing to learn or grow in confidence as a gardener.
