Book Recommendation: 'The Orchard Book' by Wade Muggleton
The Orchard Book is very approachable and immediately useful for beginner orchard enthusiasts. It is also relevant and full of useful information for the more seasoned orchardist. Filled with lovely color photos throughout, the book is organized in a way that leads budding backyard orchardists from reasons to have an orchard to harvesting and managing the orchard for the long term.
Book Recommendation: ‘My Roots: A Decade in the Garden’ by Monty Don
Monty Don is a gardening hero for many across the globe, and that certainly includes me. While probably best known for being the lead presenter of the BBC's Gardeners' World program, he is actually a prolific and gifted writer. 'My Roots: A Decade in the Garden' is, like many of Monty's other books, a personal view into his gardening life and, to some extent, his personal life.
