I had the pleasure of hearing Jamie Butterworth speak at the RHS Hampton Court Flower Festival. This young man is a passionate horticulturalist and has created a book for the novice gardener (or for the gardener that kills everything!). Lots of colour photos are included, so the book is a delight to look at. With sections on why you should grow each plant, where to put it and how to look after it you are sure to be successful in no time. The book covers perennials, shrubs, climbers, annuals and bulbs, fruits and vegetables and houseplants. There's even a handy dos and don'ts section on each plant.
