  Containing straightforward practical advice on dividing plants, sowing seeds and taking cuttings, this book aims to instil confidence in even complete beginners, and to provide any gardener with the freedom to plan and plant lavishly and imaginatively, without counting the cost. The book covers annuals, biennials, herbaceous perennials, ferns, bulbs, alpines, conservatory plants, shrubs, climbers and even trees. Each short section describes one simple method of propagation and growing on - how to do it, what will be needed, a list of the plants for which it works, and details of what can go wrong and the remedies.
