Creative Propagation

Description

Regarded as a classic among practical gardening guides, Creative Propagation has been thoroughly revised and updated, with almost twice as much text and nearly three times as many plants as are found in the celebrated first edition. Though vastly expanded in scope and content for an international readership, Thompson's book still offers the same key philosophy of basing techniques on observing how plants reproduce naturally'.

Peter Thompson graduated in Horticulture and holds an M.Sc and Ph.D from London University. He was Head of the Physiology Department at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, for many years before becoming a nurseryman and establishing The Garden School.
