Overview
This reference book from the RHS lists a staggering number of plants and the nurseries that stock them. In fact over 78,000 plants and 480 nurseries are listed! So if you are looking for that elusive variety of plant to finish off that special gardening project, are a collector of a specific type of plant or just want to try something new, this is the book for you. The book is a dictionary of plant names, there are no pictures, so you will need to know the Latin names of the plants you want to find. Some horticultural knowledge is therefore required. Look up the name of the plant you want to buy and written next to it are codes for the nurseries that stock it. These nurseries are then listed at the back of the book. The book is updated annually so use the most up to date version as nurseries can change which varieties they grow each year. 3800 new plants were added to this new edition alone. Buying the book supports the charitable work of the RHS.
