Clear and concise, 'Learn To Garden' shows the new Australian gardener all they need to know to create a garden of their own, whether they are getting to grips with an existing garden or tacking a brand new plot.
Focusing on the plants, rather than on DIY or hasty makeovers, it sets them on the road to achieving lasting and satisfying results. With its realistic and unintimidating approach, 'Learn To Garden' takes the bafflement out of gardening for the beginner.
From the start, they are shown why choosing the right plant for the right place is fundamental to success, and why soil matters. The book stresses the importance of working with nature and not against it, and of seeing how the plant life in one small backyard relates to that of the wider world. In all chapters, the essentials are summarised and highlighted, making them easy to assimilate. The demands of modern Australian life are also recognised and quick methods suggested where they really work.
