My daughter and family have just moved into an old Victorian cottage with a beautiful garden. My daughter loves the garden and is very much looking forward to getting stuck in and tending it next year, but is very much a novice. Do any of my fellow Gransnetters have any recommendations for a beautiful hardback book that I can buy her for Christmas, that identifies the plants and how to care for them. Thank you.

Get her a subscription to the Cottage Garden Society, it has a wonderful magazine. £15 UK single. www.thecgs.org.uk. Lots of lovely articles and good practical advice, plus regional groups.
