Ivydene Gardens Library Catalogue: Location of Plants Books - T-W

Each entry, where possible, has an International Standard Book Number (ISBN) to assist you in locating a copy.

In order to assist the design process for a garden, the Library has been split into the following order of abstraction:-

• Garden Style - The overall style of the garden — Cottage, Japanese, Feng-Shui, Informal, Formal, Wildlife Friendly etc - dictates which following design and plant books are suitable to use
• Garden Design - gives design methodologies to follow for the Garden Style chosen.
• Garden Planting Design gives planting design ideas for the beds of the overall garden design chosen above.
• Wildlife gives details concerning wildlife that could be found in gardens, their lifestyle and how to encourage them to your garden.
• Location of Plants shows which plants should be grouped together for its soil, shade, colour for the garden style chosen.
• Plant Association shows which plant combinations give a pleasing colour combination or foliage contrast.
• Plant Types gives growing conditions of a particular family of plants, i.e. Primulas, with lists of where suitable and finally
• Plant Species gives data about a particular family of plants in restricted format.

The Reference Library and the Practical Projects categories will assist with construction.

Private garden maintenance can then be assisted by the following:-

• Gardening gives general information on how to garden for the whole garden,
• Garden Cultivation gives specific data about growing vegetables in a kitchen garden, or fruit in an orchard, or lawns, ponds etc,
• Propagation gives details on how to propagate new plants from seed, division or grafting,
• Garden Pests includes information on garden pests and diseases with their control and
• Garden Tips gives tips on different parts of gardening.

Please note that entries in the library pages in red text indicate books that Chris Garnons-Williams has found to be more useful than the others in that section.

I made 21 Cup Cakes of Arsenic and Old Lace Cake Variation 3:-

10 oz (300g) Porridge Oats

6 oz (180g) Billington’s Natural Molasses Sugar

8 oz (240g) Stork Margarine

18 oz (500g) Tesco Luxury Dried Mixed Fruit

Melt the margarine and sugar in a saucepan very gently over a low heat, stirring occasionally. When they are just melted, add the oats and Mixed Fruit and mix together until all is well blended. Put the mixture into the baking cases and press down firmly with the fingers. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees C for 17 minutes and leave in oven to cool down. Transport these Oatmeal Fruit Crunch in icecream cartons. For less sticky and more crunchy cakes; use Demerara Sugar instead of Molasses Sugar and reduce cooking time to 15 minutes.
