Garden plants in books (7)
I believe the answer is:
annuals
This clue might be a double definition.
'garden plants' is the first definition.
'annuals' can be an answer for 'plants' (annual is a kind of plant). I am not sure about the 'garden' bit.
'books' is the second definition.
(annual is a kind of book)
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for annuals that I've seen before include "Yearly books" , "Yearbooks" , "Yearly plants" , "which one may enjoy in bed?" , "Books published once a year" .)
