It is a well-known fact that you cannot make a beautiful garden by sitting with your feet up in the gazebo.It is equally well known to gardeners that you cannot stand about for very long before the weeds have you by the throat.
In these circumstances,it is difficult for any garden lover to assimilate the vast quantities of horticultural information dispensed constantly in books,magazines,and newspapers without being engulfed by an impenetrable jungle.
With this in mind and in an effort to bring relief to fellow sufferers,Thelwell has distilled all the necessary information in one convenient volume.
'Up the Garden Path' covers all apsects of gardening from how to make a hole in a frozen fish pond to how to get your mower out of the shed and includes an indispensable calendar of essential work throughout the year.Each piece of information is concise and pointed and is illustrated in a manner which makes its meaning crystal clear.
Here,then,is a gardener's handbook in the true sense of the word,designed to be held in one hand while the flame gun is kept going with the other.
A really superb 1st edn,in Thelwell's bold and comedic style and will be an important and welcome addition to the Thelwell canon.
