Gardening editor Jane Perrone picks the gardening books that should be on your Christmas list.
A good book is a vital part of the gardener’s winter survival kit: when you can’t get outside, you can dream big about next year, lose yourself in someone else’s plot or discover new plants from the comfort of your reading chair. Here’s a selection of my favourite books published this year: all perfect for your Christmas wishlist.
1. Rhapsody in Green by Charlotte Mendelson
2. Gardenista: The Definitive Guide to Stylish Outdoor Spaces by Michelle Slatalla
