I’d go for the RHS Encyclopaedia of Gardening. I’ve got lots of gardening books, but that’s the one I still refer to most, because it’s got lots of ‘how to’ sections in it. It’s tempting to buy the prettiest book with lots of lovely pictures, but for a novice a reference book is much more useful.

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.
