The Conservatory Gardener, by popular writer and broadcaster Anne Swithinbank, is the best book on the market about gardening under glass. Its core is an encyclopaedic guide to the best conservatory plants.

A practical section gives advice on feeding and watering, ways of regulating light, temperature and humidity, dealing with pests and on step-by-step propagation.
