Does anyone have a recommendation for a gardening book for me please?
Amateur, quite big but still a town garden, varying levels of shade, poor but well drained chalky soil.
I like pictures 😉
Thanks!

Is it a 'To Do' book you are looking for? As a beginner gardener I found the RHS Encyclopaedia of Gardening useful. These days the book I use most is Helen Yemm's Gardening in Pyjamas, no pictures though.

I also use YouTubers a lot. The Middle Sized Garden is my favourite.

Thanks. The RHS book looks beautiful I've bought it just now!
