One book I could not do without!

I like the look of that. .... I'm off to Google!

Dawn, one of the most useful plant directories of all time.....we have been buying it for over 20 years! don't expect photos.....there are a few coloured ones in this one, but that's an exception!

So is it a list of plants and where to buy them.

Yes, all 76.000 plants, lists nurseries, websites, etc and much more, every plant collector needs this book..

Thanks Dotty, I will take another look :)

I used to have one of these!

Angela, do you have to be an RHS member to buy it?

Sheila, apparently not, found one for £12.36!

Thanks Dawn - I have ordered one!

Have you Sheila, nice one :-) let me know what it's like :-)
Following your recommendation I bought Bloom's Best perennials and grasses and now have a list of plants I want :-))))))
Just googling right now to see if they'll like my conditions :-)

So glad you're enjoying Mr Bloom's choices. I will let you know about the Plant Finder when it comes, but I do know that I'm more relaxed looking at a book than a website!

Thanks Sheila. Yes, there's something about picking up a book.
Are you OK and excited about your gardening year? :-)

Sorry Sheila just come back on, have been busy painting cupboards I use this to find a plant that I want, also who sells it, where to buy, whether they have a website, also I like to find the latest up to date varieties, such as hardy geraniums daylilies etc also where to find the national collection of a certain plant, it is really a reference book, I bought mine from Amazon because I am a prime member.....and you can get nearly new books too!

Thanks Dotty - yes, I also use Amazon quite a bit, but also try to alternate with my local bookshop, to support them when possible. This sounds really good - thanks for letting us know!

Yes Dawn! We ordered a greenhouse today, and are now waiting for two quotes for the “build”. Hoping one of them can start before the end of February.

A greenhouse! lucky you, wish we had the room!

Gracious Angela - I’m amazed at what you achieve without one!

Wow, a greenhouse, how exciting, another 5 weeks then and it should be all action :-)

Sounds a good ref book & that was a reasonable price £12.36. Have fun with your greenhouse.l'm envious as I haven't got either the space( or cash) :-(
