*****************************************************************************************
Carol Klein is passionate about propagation. Her own garden, as seen on Gardeners' World , is almost grown entirely from cuttings and seeds and in this book she's on a mission to share her joy in working with nature to cultivate the plants she loves. Too often gardeners are intimidated by propagation, assume it's not for them and go for ready-grown plants from the garden centre. But Carol, a gifted communicator with her infectious enthusiasm, boundless horticultural expertise and easy practical explanations, shows just how simple and satisfying it is to grow your own plants, not to mention sustainable and cheap . She demonstrates, step-by-step, how to divide herbaceous perennials, nurture seedlings or grow new stock from root cuttings, stems or leaves, showing how there is no mystique involved and anybody can do it.

I have nothing personal against Carol Klein, but having a picture of her smiling on every page is very irritating. Once you have managed to make the effort of ignoring that, you can enjoy the book, which is informative. But I certainly would have chosen something else if I had bought it in a proper shop rather than online.

Fascinating and informative... I went through the whole book in about 2 days.
