Hello and welcome to a special edition of the RHS Gardening Podcast. Today we're talking about books. The winter months are the ideal time to rethink and replant your garden and get inspiration and information about design plants and horticultural techniques from the wealth of gardening manuals on the market. It's also a great time to curl up with a good book for the pleasure of reading alone, avoiding the cold, wet and windy weather outside.

And with Christmas rapidly approaching, a book makes a welcome present for any garden lover in your life.
