Riassunto

Packed with useful and fascinating information, The Gardener’s Pocket Companion divulges many secrets, including how Joseph Paxton, designer of Crystal Palace and landscape gardener extraordinaire, rose from poverty to become a multimillionaire; which tree provided 16th-century Europeans with a cure for venereal disease; how to perform the soil fist test to determine soil type; and what Nelson Mandela grew in his prison garden. A treasure trove of gardening facts, curiosities, notes, and quotes is packed into this attractive, handy pocket-sized book.
