Full of information. The cuttings I took are thriving with my new knowledge. Can’t wait to try all of the techniques outlined in this book.

refreshing a new look

British plants with official names -- little we grow or recognize. Inspiring but tedious to read!

Great book for a great price.

I was always a bit scared of propagation techniques beyond sowing commercial seed or dividing clumps of plants, but this book has made me want to rush out and buy a cold frame (no space in my garden for a greenhouse) and have a go at taking cuttings.It is clear and manages to demystify the processes involved in propagating plants using a variety of techniques. There is also a useful guide to indicate which methods of propagation can be used on a variety of plants. I can see how you could quite easily save a lot of money using this book and a little patience to grow more plants for your garden instead of buying more from the garden centre. As a bonus is is visually appealing too - it looks lovely on your bookshelf and the photos inside are well done too. Would make a lovely gift.

Brilliant, I recommend this book to any keen gardener. The author’s enthusiasm comes across in every page. The wonder of initiating the creation of your own new plants, for free, is described on every page. Well illustrated, with high quality, stage-by-stage photographs. I am a novice gardener but have gained many new plants following the book and I look forward to planting the seeds I’ve saved in the spring.

I love this book, Carol Klein has amazing passion for plants combined with expert knowledge. She is a great teacher of all things horticultural. 5 Stars *****

informative book from Carol good book to sit and read about how to propagate plants.

Somewhere between a gardening manual and a coffee table book, this lovely book covers pretty much everything a gardener needs to know about cuttings, divisions, seeds and more. Always enthusiastic for growing more plants, Carol's enthusiasm rubs off on anyone reading it. As ever Jonathan Buckley's photographs are superb. In addition to the photos of practical details there are beautiful shots of Carol's garden. These are quite inspirational, they show Carol in her garden surrounded by wonderful colours and textures, and here and there a few weeds growing in the path, to show Carol is just like the rest of us. Inspirational and aspirational.
