Usually cultivated forestry requires land development and vegetation look after in an order. The idea to compile and edit an encyclopaedia dawned upon while growing needs for greens in modern human life. Editors searched for various resources–plants, crops and vegetation that have edible, medicinal or decorative utility. They have given enough space to the entries which help even commoners learn to cultivate and grow them. This encyclopaedia is the work of a lifetime, in which editors have included different types of plants, trees and crops. Volume One–Organic Methods in Floriculture, Plantation and Organized Forestry: Wildflowers, Perennials, Grasses and Waterplants– deals with perennial plants and trees as also grasses and water plants and wild flowers of above 700 found world wide. Also the volume includes succulents and cactuses of a wide variety. Volume Two consists of Methods and Techniques for Organic Potting and Cultivation for Domestic House Garden. It comprises about 300 species of different plants which many or may not be decorative in nature but give excellent ground coverage and tremendous ecological advantage. Volume Three takes into account all important edible crops of world and closes with extensive agricultural glossary for beginners and students. Stress has been laid on organic means and manures for cultivation and potting and also post-planting care. The encyclopaedia is a complete window to the botanists and naturalists who wish to access a summed up information for natural planting, potting and cultivation of planned wilderness. It will be of immense use to the people interested in collecting or protecting wild or domesticated plants. A valuable reference work for universities, agriculturists and organic farmers.
