Book Review: RHS The Garden Almanac 2025
Rating: 5 Stars
As a passionate (wannabe) gardener, I can confidently say that RHS The Garden Almanac 2025 is a delightful gem that every green thumb should have on their shelf! From the moment I laid eyes on the cover, I was smitten. It's just gorgeous! The beautiful artwork by Angie Lewin sets the perfect tone for this almanac, making it not only a practical guide but also a visual treat.
This book provides a month-by-month roadmap to nurturing your garden and connecting with nature throughout the year. Each chapter is dedicated to a specific month, starting with January, and is packed with practical tips on what to plant, harvest, and even how to deal with any pesky insects that might invade your garden. The wealth of information is tailored specifically for the UK climate.
What I love most is the rich variety of content included in each month. You'll find everything from projected sunrise and sunset times (as well as moonrise and moonset) to average rainfall—such practical details that truly help you plan your gardening adventures. There are also fantastic ideas for seasonal projects, which inspire me to get my hands dirty and try something new!
The illustrations in this book are simply stunning. It's filled with photographs of fruits, vegetables, and the native wildlife that enrich our gardens. These visuals not only captivate the eye but also serve as a reminder of the beauty of nature and the joy of gardening. Plus, the inclusion of folk tales, festivals, and snippets of garden history sprinkled throughout adds a charming touch, making the reading experience even more enriching.
And let's not forget about the recipes! They are a wonderful way to make use of seasonal produce, turning your gardening efforts into culinary delights. Whether you're an experienced gardener or just starting out, this almanac offers something for everyone.
Overall, RHS The Garden Almanac 2025 is an invaluable resource filled with inspiration and practical advice. It's not just a book; it's a companion for your gardening journey throughout the year. I can't recommend it enough as a perfect gift for anyone who shares a love for plants and gardening. Trust me, you won't regret adding this beauty to your collection!
