"Geoff Hamilton's Plant Encyclopedia includes over 4,000 plants, each illustrated with a photograph on a record card that also provides a description and cultivation notes. Icons indicate height, spread and conditions required for plants. Foliage and flowering plants include a display indicating the months in which they add interest to your garden. There are notes on soil type and which 'themes' the plant would fit in with: container plants, cottage garden, drought resistant, and so on. Plus, you can search for plants that satisfy several criteria. Rating *** Classic title that is still usable."

"There are major advantages compared to being presented with the same information in printed form. In particular, as well as being able to search for plants using their names (either common or Latin) as you would with a book, you can search by lots of other criteria. Want a plant that blooms in July, has red flowers, favours partial shade and grows no more than one metre tall? No problem - just enter these criteria on the search page and you'll be given a list of plants to scroll through. Excellent value for money. Rating ****"
