Synopsis
The RHS Shorter Dictionary of Gardening is a comprehensive, quick-reference source to gardening and horticulture. Compiled with keen gardeners and students particularly in mind, it gathers into one volume a treasure trove of information and advice about plants, practical horticulture and cultivation techniques, botanical and gardening terms, pests and diseases and common names.
The A to Z style provides easy access to a huge range of essential information, creating an effective gardening library in one volume and drawing together information that would usually appear in a number of gardening books. The diverse content includes references to little-known aspects of the subject as well as explanations of all the practical details of the gardener's craft. It contains descriptions of over 1900 genera with many more references to species, hybrids and cultivars.
Included throughout the text are colour photographs and specially commissioned line drawings that illustrate gardens, plants and gardening techniques.

Reviews
The RHS set has wonderful descriptions of, and cultural information for, virtually all the world's garden plants. It also includes biographies as well as excellent details on topics like plant nutrition and gardening within specific countries. Although sparsely illustrated, this is the ultimate reference for large and horticultural libraries. The one-volume Shorter Dictionary is more manageable in size and price for small and medium-sized public libraries; it gives lucid definitions of gardening terms and very good descriptions of a great variety of plants.
