Product Description
Have you ever looked enviously at a neighbour’s garden and wished you had a green thumb? Have you ever gone to the garden centre full of enthusiasm, only to find yourself confused and defeated? Have you ever wished that somehow gardening could just be, well, easy? If so, it’s time to Get Growing with Frankie Flowers. In 352 pages packed with inspiring yet instructional photos, Frankie coaches gardeners of all levels through the basics of getting a garden growing. Broken down into seasonal chapters that give the reader concise, clear instructions on what you need to do now and why, it provides a solid foundation for building a beautiful ornamental garden, a healthy, natural lawn and a bountiful vegetable garden. With tons of step-by-step detail—in words and photos—this book includes everything from planning and planting to pruning and fine tuning. It’ll also help gardeners of all levels troubleshoot problems like weeds and slugs and rodents (oh my!). Gardening shouldn’t be complicated or overwhelming—it should be fun. The secret is just to get outside and Get Growing!

Great for Canadian gardeners!,
By book luv "book luv" (ontario, canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Get Growing (Paperback)
Finally, a book truly dedicated to Canadian gardening -- the photos are very well done and actually show the diseases and pests we get here in the Toronto area (even the spider pic is one I see in my garden every year!).There are a lot of useful tips and I especially like the diagrams on how to prune trees. This book will get a lot of use as I'm a newbie gardener and given the price of food in the coming months I'll definitely be planting a garden and will need help on just about every aspect of creating one. Highly recommend this book!

This review is from: Get Growing (Paperback)
There is nothing I would have wanted to know prior to buying this book. We watch Frank on Breakfast Television and on City Line and that is actually what prompted me to buy the book in the first place.I've actually purchased two of these books. One for myself and the other as a gift to my daughter-in-law. We love it. It's a great source of information that's easy to understand. Simple things to do before your start plantng helter skelter. I'll recommend it to anyone who is interested in gardening. And it does make a great gift.
