Description
Applied Principles of Horticultural Science is that critical thing for all students of horticulture - a book that teaches the theory of
horticultural science through the practice of horticulture itelf.

that makes students think for themselves, and supported by concise summaries of the underpinning knowledge to facilitate student-centred
learning. Clear step-by-step instructions make practical work accessible to students of all abilities.
Updated in line with the latest
RHS syllabus, this new third edition includes questions and answers at the end of every chapter to aid self study, and provides an even
wider sweep of case studies to make this book an essential practical work book for horticulture students and gardeners alike.
