Books & Resources

While we like to think we have a green thumb, we recognise that not all people do.  And just because you don't have a green thumb, that doesn't mean you can't enjoy having a plant or few.  With so many resources on the internet, we have taken the hard work out of searching and have some of the best pages in one place Useful Plant Links.

Don't forget, we also have our own Plant Profiles and Plant Tips that you can search.  We are continually creating more of these as we document our collection.

Our collection of Plant Books is something to behold.  

If they were all together in one book shelf, there would not be much room left for books of any other genre.  We look forward to bringing you a quick run down of each, so check back soon to see what we have added to the list.

Watercolour painting relies on water flow to create different colours and effects.  Just the word flow evokes a sense of tranquillity so there is no doubt that watercolours are calming for the soul.

There are many different techniques used such as wet on wet, wet on dry and we love masking.  Check out these Watercolour Books to help you get started or refine your painting skills and get inspired to create your own art.

We have listed lots of the jargon used in the plant world and provided an explanation for each.  

Our Plant Terms & Abbreviations page is sure to become a handy resource.  We are continually adding terms but if there is something that you are not familiar with and would like added to our list, please contact us.

Good soil is essential for good plant growth.  We have a simple Plant Mix that we use when potting our plants.  It can be fine tuned to make it just right for any plant.  Try out our tried and tested soil recipe next time you are pottering.
