Getting in to gardening can be intimidating. When and what to plant, plant care, dealing with pests and diseases... there is so much to learn! But every gardener has to start somewhere, and luckily there is help at hand. The New Gardener's Handbook is brought to us by Daryl Beyers (an expert from the New York Botanical Garden), and provides an invaluable resource tool that is design-forward and beginner friendly. The New Gardener's Handbook is a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of gardening, based on the introductory gardening class that Beyers teaches at NYBG.
Learn about soil, plant selection, propagation, planting and mulching, watering and feeding, pruning, and weeds, pests, and diseases. The information applies to both ornamental and edible plants. Featuring inspiring photography and helpful illustrations, The New Gardener's Handbook gives home gardeners a foundation upon which they can grow, and encourages them to apply the lessons they've learned in an intuitive, natural way.
