How to have a gorgeous garden when you've got very little time to attend to it. The secret is to know the essential jobs for each month so that you get maximum benefit from the time you can spend on your plot. Pippa Greenwood takes you through the gardening year - when to sow and plant, how to save time on weeding later by mulching in the spring, whether it's worth deadheading or would your time be better spent fertilising the lawn or watering newly planted pots. Each garden area - flower beds, lawn, trees and shrubs, pond and furniture - is highlighted so that you can see in an instant what needs your attention and what can safely be left. Illustrated with inspiring colour photographs and practical line drawings, the book is easy to use and draws on Pippa's extensive knowledge of practical gardening for busy people.
