As you read the book, you cannot help but be impressed by the extensive structure and the details that even include 'how to deal with the mole and the cat'.

Professor Son, who had to organize everything to establish a system, said that the content became so vast that it was difficult to finish it in one book, and explained, “I created this book as an introductory book for the general public and beginner gardeners who want to become professional gardeners.”


Looking at the structure of the book, it covers the basic understanding of the form and function of gardens, the garden design process, and construction methods.
Chapter 5, which devotes more space to gardening, explains it in detail.
If you look at the title of that section, you can feel that it is the ultimate.
It consists of a total of 12 sections, including ▲organic garden management ▲irrigation ▲weeding and weed control ▲soil and fertilizer management ▲pest and pest management ▲garden tree management ▲flower management ▲lawn management ▲kitchen garden management ▲garden plant propagation ▲garden plant winter management ▲management of garden structures, facilities, furniture, and decorations.


The author says that it took a long time for him to begin writing this book and establish the table of contents, having taught gardening for 33 years.


Gardening is a broad field, and the design and construction of gardens, the maintenance work for gardens with various purposes, and the understanding of the numerous garden plants at the heart of gardening are difficult to explain without actual garden experience.

If you're starting a garden and feel overwhelmed or unsure of what to do, and if you want to broadly understand the various roles of a garden, this book is a must-have.
