The New Australian Bush Gardener
Australian plants have long been regarded as the "ugly ducklings" of the garden, with a reputation for being unreliable and unspectacular.
'Gardening on the Wild Side' explodes that myth with a flourish of genetically improved Australian plants that can more than match the performance of exotic species.
Angus Steward leads us on a wonderful adventure, taking plants from the wild and tracing their journey to the garden. We come to share his understanding of Australian plants as he uncovers those best suited to specific situations and purposes around the home. With descriptions of over 100 cultivars and more than 120 photographs, we well as detailed drawings and delicate paintings, this is both a valuable reference and a beautiful and inspiring book for every gardener.
