Why read it?
1 author picked The Plant Propagator's Bible as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
One of the most exciting things new gardeners learn is how to make more plants, either by collecting seeds from the plants in their garden or learning how to clone the plants they own.

With a recently published new edition, it’s easier than ever to have an illustrated guide at your side, showing you how to start seeds, take cuttings, or make grafts of all your favorite plants.
From Daryl's list on The best books for new gardeners.
