   Önskar den på svenska

   Ett storverk, men önskar den på svenska med växter anpassade för svenska förhållanden. Något för svenska entusiaster att ta sig an?

   Mycket användbar bok! Vare sig du har en liten villaträdgård eller en stor gård får du många bra tips och en helt annan förståelse för varför du inte lyckats med vissa växter tidigare. Rekommenderas!
