Using native plants, this book presents an original scheme that is easily implemented in gardens all over Australia. It involves economical use of water over dry spells, making maximum use of rain, and conditioning plants to cope during very wet periods.
An ideal book for the landscape gardener, the book shows how native plants can be used to form part of an aesthetic landscape. Chapters cover topics such as soils, mounding and channelling, mulching, rockeries, plant usage and maintenance. Over 150 colour plates are explained in the text and captions.
