Short Cuts to Great Gardens: A Practical Guide to Low-Maintenance Gardening (Readers Digest) Book

This practical guide to reducing time-consuming jobs in the garden aims to help you achieve the garden you really want in the time you have. The Readers Digest team has joined forces with TV and radio gardening authority Sue Phillips, from BBC Radio 4's "Gardener's Question Time", Classic FM's "Gardening Forum" and Channel Four's "Garden Party", to provide a host of ideas on low-maintenance gardening.
