.  – When it comes to growing plants, most Canadian weather can at best be described as challenging – which is why it is helpful to have a true Canadian expert gardener around.

In this, his 18 th book, Cullen has gone all out and left no proverbial paving stone unturned. Covering a gamut of topics, from fruits and vegetables to ornamental and lawn gardening, The Canadian Garden Primer is also vividly photographed in full colour. Most of us know about the benefits of eating organically grown produce – and we now have the opportunity to learn how to grow it ourselves, regardless of our expertise. Cullen has removed the guesswork out of gardening, featuring numerous easy to follow sequenced shots of the various stages of planting.

This is a gardening book covering the gambit. Intended to inform the novice gardener and serve as a useful reference in the ornamental garden and vegetable garden, it also provides guidance to the lawn enthusiast.

Available at Home Hardware, Chapters/Indigo and independent book stores across Canada.
