A good basic introduction for horticulture studentsNovember 11, 2000 114 out of 116 found this review helpful
I have recently completed a BSc (HONS) in Horticulture and found this book to be a useful (basic)introduction to the subject. The book covers many of the important topics covered in more scientific detail in the degree. However, the book would be most useful to diploma students, or, for people considering doing a course on the subject and keen to find out more.
An Excellent Introductory TextMay 15, 2006 Rob Newton(UK) 20 out of 20 found this review helpful
I used this book when studying for the RHS General Certificate and found it to be excellent for that purpose. The book is A4 in size and has the feel of a lecturers own personal notes. The text is large with useful diagrams and summaries. This text is a general introduction and as such is not detailed enough for students on the more advanced RHS courses.
