No one (apart from the late, great Geoff Hamilton) does gardening books for beginners like Alan Titchmarsh. Plenty of practical, common sense advice delivered in an encouraging but non-patronizing tone to reassure the total novice. Clear text together with a good 'directory' of fruit & veg make this ideal for the newcomer to the veg patch. This book could have been improved by fewer photos of Titchmarsh and more clearly captioned pictures of gardening tasks/pests & diseases/plant cultivars etc. I was also irritated by his statement that organic matter such as manure or compost is insufficient to maintain healthy soil without the addition of a general purpose fertilizer. This is total nonsense & an irresponsible statement from ... Read More:

I have to agree with "bookworm1973" that it "will need supplementing". But this is not a bad thing or a fault with the book. This is not a "what to plant where" type book or a comprehensive list of Latin named plants. No, it is a yearly garden maintenance manual.
It is a very easy book to read. There are no individual chapters on planting, lawn care, pests, vegetables etc. There are just twelve chapters. Each chapter is a title of a month. So you don't read the book from cover to cover, instead you turn to chapter "June" on the first day of June. Each chapter has a one-page checklist of garden tasks covering lawn care, pests, planting, vegetables etc. for just that month. The rest of the chapter covers the checklist in more ...

I have lots of gardening books, some of them are even useful. But this is the best I've found for stirring up confidence and enthusiasm. I just need to browse its pages for a few minutes and I want to go and pull on by gardening shoes and gloves. As a reference its not perfect but as an introduction and ideas crucible its great. And the two halves blend beautifully, you barely see the join. There is very little repetition.

I was really tempted to give this book a five star rating but for one point - this is a very short book and, while it does what it says on the cover, if you follow Alan's advice then within a few months you'll want something more detailed. So while it is an excellent volume in its own right it's quite poor value. I wouldn't regard myself as an experienced gardener but even I found only a few pages of information in here that was new to me. For most people your probably better off saving the money and buying something like the RHS Encyclopedia of gardening, its more expensive but it will last you for years rather than months. Borrow this book (or buy it and sell it again) by all means and it will give an excellent grounding in what you need ... Read More: >>More Details |

I have seen Alan Titchmarsh on television and I like his style. I threw this book in the compost heap, after reading about half of it. As I could not stand the swearing in it. Why can we not have a system of gradings so I do not have to waste my time buying books with "bad" language.

I was given this book as a present for Christmas by my family. Within the last year, I have developed a true love of nature, so this seemed like the perfect gift. To be honest, looking at the Amazon page, I am quite surprised that THE NATURE OF BRITAIN has received such mixed reviews. One has said that the book is not definitive - well, perhaps this is the case, but it is meant to be a celebration of our landscape and our wildlife, and in this sense it is a triumph.
The book is divided into different sections covering different habitats; woodland, coast and islands, fields and meadows etc. Similar to the BBC series which accompanies this book, there are glorious colour photographs to bring to life what is being described. As ... Read More: >>More Details |

I quite liked the theme of the book - the death and emotions of those left behind I didn't mind reading about and were quite informative. The only problem I had with this book was that as it was obviously written by a middle aged man and many of the teenage daughter's thoughts, feelings and actions were idealistic - rather what a dad would hope how a girl would/should behave and feel in a relationship with a boyfriend that how most of us actually do/did! As a result I found myself being disappointed even though I'd struggled to put it down at points.

Two sessions and this rather trite little mystery romance by one of the UK's favourite gardeners was finished. This one did not really appeal to me very much. Although I have read all of Alan Titchmarsh's novels I have to admit they only catch my attention because of his television fame...sorry Alan.
This predictable tale takes as its protagonists three middle aged men, Tiger Wilson, Dr Christopher Devon and Gary Flynn. The title I felt did not fit very well as the story gives all three men a little love interest and intrigue in their lives, not just Dr Devon. Somehow between them they stumble on a local mystery loosely connected by a Chinese man and Dr Devon's concerns about the local GP practice. A lightweight amusing novel. ...
