The Royal Horticultural Society was founded in 1804 and has established itself as the UK's leading gardening charity, with the aim of inspiring passion and excellence in the science, art and practice of horticulture. The world-famous RHS Lindley Library holds unique collections of early printed books on gardening, botanical art and photographs.
'There’s always one gardening book you return to time after time during the calendar year, with advice on when to sow, how to grow and when edibles are ripe for picking. This invaluable guide, written by RHS and gardening experts, not only shows you how to do stuff, but also offers useful information on the average rainfall and hours of sun your area experiences through the year, how the moon can affect garden wildlife and includes seasonal recipes you can make from your harvests.' * The Independent *
