Rachel de Thame's Top 100 Star Plants |
Review
British TV-presenter and gardener, Rachel de Thame, known from
BBC series Gardener's World and Small Town Gardens has selected 100
of her favourite plants and presents them in this her new
book. When faced with the overwhelming number of plants on offer at
garden centres and in catalogues, it can be difficult to choose the
right plant for your garden. It's even harder to find something that
will flourish in a particular spot. In this book, Rachel de Thame
selects the very best plants for specific gardening situations.
There are 12 categories in all - everything from climbers for a
sunny wall and winter flowering shrubs to plants for a tropical
effect. Each section features a short introduction to the topic
followed by Rachel's plant recommendations - with six to twelve in
each category, the reader has plenty of choice without being
overwhelmed. Each plant description is written in a chatty, but
informative style and includes practical gardening tips. "100
Star Plants" should appeal to beginners and more experienced
gardeners alike. Rachel combines fail-safe familiar choices with
more unusual options, giving adventurous gardeners a fresh
alternative.

Small Town Gardens by Rachel de Thame
|
Review
Rachel de Thame has written a really useful book with wonderful
and simple ideas for the small town garden. Practical, manageable
and affordable ideas that produce quick results. If you're planning to make use of your urban garden this book is
a must have. Rachel de Thame has written a very readable guide
complete with practical, manageable, and affordable ideas on how to
transform your city garden. All tastes and levels of experience are
catered for, with the advice clearly presented, in conjunction with
useful case studies. The styles range from the traditional family
garden to the minimalist modern. Particularly impressive is the
originality of the subject, as too many gardening books cater only
for those with an enormous expanse of green. It was refreshing to
find a book which sought to dispel the misconception that towns and
gardens are incompatible. Reviewers Gardeners' World - ‘Explores gardens created by
well-known designers and provides a host of inspirational ideas.’

the challenges of gardening in the tiniest of spaces’

If Titchmarsh did for gardening what Delia did for cooking;
de Thame does for gardeners what Nigella did
for chefs! |

Gardening with the Experts
(Rachel de Thame
and Phil McCann) |
Review
"Britain's Greatest Gardeners" distills the wisdom of
Britain's top gardeners, the men and women who look after the
gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society. The book ties in to a 6-part series on BBC2, presented by Rachel
de Thame, and details everything covered in the programme and more
besides - from how the experts produce a perfect punnet of
strawberries to how they restore their beautiful lawns after
thousands of visitors have reduced them to mud. Divided into eight chapters - Roses; Perennials and Grasses;
Lawns; Edibles; Water; Climbers; Trees and Shrubs; and Pests,
Diseases and Weeds - the book covers the principal aspects of
gardening. The text is peppered with RHS know-how tips and each
chapter includes a step-by-step masterclass by a top RHS expert
covering a practical aspect of gardening.
Reviewer Actually very well written and would make a beautiful gift.
