Complete Gardens

Complete Gardens is run by an interesting group of garden writers and photographers. It has an excellent website, divided into two parts. One offers two CDs, compatible to both PCs and Macs. with a stunning plant selector, plant lists, garden styles and a garden calendar. You can view details of and buy the CDs online. The photographs are of the highest quality and are taken by Neil Bromhall, who won an Emmy for his time-lapse filming in David Attenborough's much-admired television series The Private Life of Plants. As a novice gardener he sensibly assembled a team of experts to help in the making of the CDs, including Paul Williams.

The website comprises a first class plant directory, a plant finder, a section on plant solutions and a discussion room. There is also a section on plant nurseries and stockists. A great deal of attention has gone into making this a five star site for student, novice and keen gardeners.

The Complete Gardens Plant Selector and Pruning Guide CD-Rom has won Best New Product in the Home and Gift category at the Glee Trade Show.
