  The aim of this book is to introduce a new method of garden mapping for novice and experienced gardeners and also gardeners who lack a confident knowledge of plants. This book will show you where to grow plants as opposed to the actual cultivation of plants. Nesbitt's graphics give the layman an immediate idea of shapes, sizes and relationships between the plants, which are listed in alphabetical order by their correct botanical names. On the plans, they are often identified by their more familiar common names. The book consists mainly of a 'dictionary' of symbols for use in garden mapping, and this list of graphics will cover all the most popular and commonly bought plants in Britain. Readers can copy freehand, trace or photocopy these graphics which will be kept deliberately simple so that the user who is not confident or good at drawing will be able to use the system.
