“Learning how to sow seed, root cuttings, and divide perennials is only the beginning of Bradley’s encyclopedic guide. The more complicated techniques of layering and grafting are also covered and, with the assistance of detailed, step-by-step illustrations, explained in a fashion that make them easily mastered. An essential source for anyone interested in practical pointers for plant propagation.”— Booklist.

Steven Bradley teaches pest and disease control at Capel Manor College, North London. For the last seven years he has been resident gardening expert for BBC Radio and is a regular panelist on the Gardening Roadshow, which travels the country answering gardening problems. He also writes a column in the gardening page of The Sun.
Steven Bradley gives a clear, concise overview of plant propagation in all its forms. From simple division and seed sowing to the more complex grafting and air-layering, he details every procedure, accompanied by diagrams and photographs to ensure complete understanding. All plants reproduce themselves naturally - setting seed, suckering, layering - as every gardener knows, especially in respect of weeds! But the intervention of the gardener ensures control and enables them to replicate their favourite plants either for themselves or friends. And what better way to encourage children into the garden than by giving them some sunflower and marigold seeds; the wonderment of germination never leaving them as nature takes over. A valuable reference for all horticultural bookshelf. - Lucy Watson
