It's well worth investing in a few books so you'll always have useful information to refer to. The best place to start is with some general gardening guides. Then as your interest develops into more specific areas, such as vegetable gardening, or organics, you can buy more specialist titles.
Many of these books can be bought from high street retailers as well as online at the website.
