New small softcover book, 158 pages, published 2013.

We all love our gardens. Our garden can be a sanctuary, our hideaway, our thinking place, our daily experience or nature in all its wonder and complexity, whether it be the simplest bit of greenery to the most extensive garden. So when our garden is invaded by those uninvited guests called weeds, we are motivated to remove them.

Weeds compete with our garden plants, cost time, money and effort to control, can harbour pests and diseases and reduce our enjoyment of the garden. Some are even bad for our health! This book will help you identify the common weeds growing in your garden and advise ways to control them, and it will also give you some strategies to keep them at bay. In addition, it will raise your awareness of the threat of some weeds to your health and garden, and ultimately to the natural environment.

Includes colour photos and line drawings throughout.
