Pruning Success (Gardening Essentials) by Andrew Mikolajski

Very informative and helpful for this confusing task. I must admit that I love to prune! Sometimes a little too much... A simple book that covers correct cuts, when to prune specific plants, tools that help, and nice pictures. The only problem I had is that he tended to not use common names until the end of the book. I knew I had a lilac to trim back but didn't know it was called "Syringa" so totally missed that one until the end. Best advice, get to know your plants patterns and cycles; don't be afraid to cut aggressively for those plants that can take it. Love your plants!… (more)

Seems more like a coffee table book than one to actually drag outside and use.

Planting for Visual Impact & Scent in Borders &… by Richard Bird

Useful little paperback handbook, would fit in a pocket to take to garden centres or into the garden.

Divided into 7 sections: Shade/tone/hue, annuals, perennials, scent in the garden, hanging baskets, window boxes and indoor plants. Handy little boxes all the way through the book which lists plants good for specific sites or with specific characteristics. Lots of photo illustrations.
