Christmas roses - at Christmas or even before
Christmas flowers in London

The world famous RHS Wisley bookshop

Back in England, and straight off the plane in London and off to the Royal Horticultural Society’s bookshop at their garden at Wisley in Surrey (just outside London, on the south side, for those across the Atlantic). I was there to sign copies of the British edition of the Encyclopedia of Perennials which, I’m delighted to say, is their top selling title in the run up to Christmas.

Wisleybookshop1 This is the most stupendous gardening bookshop – you’ll never see so many books on plants, gardens and wild flowers in one place. They have other books too, and a vast range of garden related gifts. And you can buy plants in the Wisley Plant Centre right next door. And of course there’s the world famous garden… The whole bookshop has recently gone online so now anyone, anywhere in the world, can take advantage of this unsurpassed range of garden books. Just click here.

Two other RHS books are in the top five sellers at the RHS Bookshop at Wisley this holiday season: the RHS Treasury of Flowers, an anthology edited by American Charles Elliott, and the latest edition of the venerable RHS Encyclopedia of Plants and Flowers. The Winter Garden by Val Bourne, which I’ll be reviewing in the New Year, is also in the top five along with The Curious Gardener's Almanac - Centuries of Practical Garden Wisdom.
