The Garden Primer

by Barbara Damrosch

From basic botany to thorough horticulture and a new emphasis on green practice, The Garden Primer by Barbara Damrosch has been completely revised and is still the best all-around guide to gardening there is. As in the original there are sections on annuals, perennials, vegetables and fruits, woody plants – and roses! The writing is concise and the author’s voice is one of empowerment and encouragement. She doesn’t hit you over the head like a ton of bricks with her years of expertise. The Garden Primer contains much that is new – a new bibliography, new plants, new tools ‑ but there yet remains the author’s credo that gardeners and gardening “make the world a better place.”
