Overview
This three-book gardening starter collection brings together three trusted voices for anyone who wants to grow their own food and flowers at home. Huw Richards shares his practical, no-nonsense approach to raising vegetables, the Royal Horticultural Society offers a beginner-friendly roadmap for first-time gardeners, and Joyce Russell explores the world of polytunnel growing for extending the harvest season. Together these titles cover soil prep, crop planning, seasonal routines, and simple troubleshooting, giving new and returning gardeners a well-rounded reference set for a small backyard plot, allotment, or covered growing space.
About the Books
Each book in this collection tackles a different piece of the home-growing puzzle, forming a rounded toolkit rather than three overlapping guides. The Vegetable Grower's Handbook draws on Huw Richards's hands-on experience to walk readers through choosing crops, preparing beds, watering wisely, and keeping a productive vegetable patch going through the seasons, with an emphasis on efficient, low-fuss methods that fit around a busy life and a limited budget. RHS How To Garden When You're New To Gardening is built for absolute beginners, breaking gardening down into manageable first steps: picking a site, planning a simple layout, understanding basic plant care, and building the confidence to keep going after those first seeds go in. It carries the reputation of the Royal Horticultural Society, a name gardeners have relied on for generations of practical, trustworthy advice. The Polytunnel Book turns to a more specialized subject, guiding readers who want to extend their growing season under cover, with attention to site selection, tunnel management, ventilation, and season-by-season crop planning. Read together, the three titles progress naturally from general vegetable-growing know-how, to first-time gardening fundamentals, to the more advanced technique of growing under polytunnel cover, making this collection equally useful for a first-time gardener starting their very first bed and an experienced grower looking to stretch the harvest further into the year with fewer surprises along the way.
