A practical, modern gardening guide from the National Trust Head Gardeners covering all aspects of gardening. NT gardeners are very much at the forefront of modern gardening techniques yet at the same time, use valuable traditional skills passed down through the generations. Interspersed throughout all the up- to-date gardening advice there will be tip boxes from NT Head Gardeners describing all the traditional skills that are used. There will be contributions from many of the NT Head Gardeners in world-famous gardens like Hidcote, Sissinghurst and Stourhead.
