My hobby is gardening but my knowledge about gardening is very poor. I want to enhance my knowledge regarding it.

Your local nurseries should have a supply of books about your local conditions. The price will be a bit high, comparatively, but theirs no substitute for exacting advice about your own garden conditions. And they usually have sections explaining the basics along with them. I can’t say I have any generalized favorite books. Too many plants in those books that won’t work for my conditions. It’s disheartening. Although, I do like some of the stylistic ideas in Beautiful Gardens Made Easy by Miracle Gro. And if you like Cacti at all, Terry Hewitt wrote an awesome one called Cacti and Succulents.
If you go to Amazon.com or co.uk and click on "books" and "home and garden" and then "gardening". You can then see a list of gardening books and you can filter them by best selling and read reviews on them.
Or you can just go to http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/bestsellers/books/271745/ref=pd_ts_b_nav
That’s the UK amazon but it gives you a list of garden books you can look up on whatever sites you buy books from. There’s a mixture of vegetable and flower growing… you’d have to look through them
