Another superb addition to Summersdale’s best-selling Wit series, here’s a title that affords perfect post-potting relaxation. Including gems from some of the world’s most illustrious horticulturists, as well as those who quickly threw in the trowel, Gardening Wit is the perfect gift for both experienced gardeners and those who are enthusiastic, but who don’t know their grass from their elbow.
