RHS Gardening Through the Year: Month-by-month Planning Instructions and Inspiration

Great Christmas present for the grandparents. They loved it bought 2. High quality detailed book.

I’m a complete beginner when it comes to gardening so I loved the simplicity of this book. Its broken down by month so you can see what you need to be thinking about & doing. There are lots of pictures. The explanations are done on a pretty generic basis so its not going to give you everything for every plant in a step by step way. That said it does explain things like pruning & mulching which are frankly darks arts to me ! I think it would make a great gift, as there are lots of pictures & its not too daunting a read. The front cover has a lovely quality feel to it so if you don’t want to read it you can always just stroke it & look at the pictures 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is a lovely book. I have a big garden but have never got into a routine with keeping on top of it. This book is excellent - each monthly chapter starts with a bullet point list of jobs to do, followed by more in depth information afterwards. It mainly covers plant, soil and lawn management but there's also some tips for vegetables and containers. At the back is a pretty comprehensive plant glossary. I couldn't say how useful it would be to an expert because I'm not one but it'll be my go to for a long time to come, I'm sure. Excellent value for such a reference book.

I once borrowed an older edition of this book from the library and I quickly realised how indispensable it was. Lots of brilliant information laid out by month and hundreds of helpful ideas. it is great for someone like me who is relatively new to gardening and needs a reminder of what needs to be done each month. It has also helped me select suitable plants for the garden because it suggests what is at its best each month. This new edition appears to have most of the same information but the book is a lot smaller than the original in terms of page size. As a result some of the content has been removed or reduced. In particular some of the figures (images) have been taken out of the book. This was a little bit disappointing hence the four stars but it is still an excellent reference and the smaller page size does make the book easier to read.

Tells me exactly what to do each month. Really useful to a gardening novice

Bought this as a gift apparently a great read for beginners and the experienced gardeners, very informative.

Lots of information for what to do over the year in the garden. Good value for money and would recommend for anyone who enjoys gardening and wants to learn more

Saw this book on the site and thought for £7 I would get it for a started book. I will not need another book as this book is very informative each plant/shrub/bulb etc is laid out for which months it flowers or has colour ,all the information on the plant/flower is displayed with all the information that you will ever need or where to plant and how to look after each plant, along with beautiful pictures to help you decide which plant would look good together . Lots of information on what to do in your garden each month. All in all I would defiantly recommend this book to anyone. It would make a great gift as the book looks and each page feels far more expensive that the £7 it cost.

Bought this book for different purpose and it came out to be not of my best use

To identify different flowers

I love the detailed and in depth apprach of the authors , great timeline (have in mind I am at home in Austria, so in a diffenent climatezone), lovely scetches and pictures - informative as well as nice to look at, inspiering and encouraging ideas, good despriptions of species includign tips for cultivars, wide range - form sunny to shady gardens, spring to autumn and winterfeatures. I was well impressed with the good timeline and practicality of the book. love it - despite the smallish lettering of the texts.

Lovely book. I bought it as a gift

Greate book, all the information you need about the gardening year
