Fern Grower's Manual

I have loved ferns since first 'discovering' them in the wild some 40yrs ago but I could quite put my finger on why until a recent conversation with an astronomy friend; of course, they appeal to my interest in fractal geometry and the beautiful complexity of natural plant forms. But I still found them difficult; to me, individually they all looked alike! This book has helped me to appreciate the different forms that this fascinating phylum can take. I'm now beginning to appreciate ferns better and prompted by this book have started a modest collection of about two dozen varieties. The diagrams are excellent and have certainly assisted my understanding of ferns and how to grow them. My only criticism is that the illustrations are not in colour.

Fern Grower's Manual: Revised and Expanded Edition  This is a beautiful, large heavyweight book. The book has high quality print, paper and photographs and diagrams. This reference book is very well organised so it is straight forward to find a particular fern family. It also contains a great deal of the facts pertaining to ferns, the various parts and reproduction methods. This is not a book to read as such but a reference book for the fern expert and enthusiast. Well worth the money. It arrived on time and well protected by the packaging. Fern Grower's Manual: Revised and Expanded Edition

Lovely, lovely book and very pleased I have bought it - I can finally get to grips with the detail of ferns. Very clear explanations in what I have read so far. Very pleased I shelled out.

Arrived when promised, in good condition - not the right book for an amateur or beginner but a very useful book for the more experienced gardener

For a college assignment, I decided to design a greenhouse meant for producing ferns. This manual helped me out with the assignment and it's such a beautiful resource that I'll be hanging onto this one for a long time!
