This beautiful book is a perfect blend of the inspirational and the practical - a book on designing, creating, tending and enjoying a lovely and individual garden. Jane Edmanson and Lorrie Lawrence show you how to create gorgeous gardens in many styles. There are plant-centred gardens - Australian native and cottage - gardens in the sun, in the tropics, in the shade and along the coast: gardens for balcony and courtyard; gardens of classical proportions; and gardens within gardens, such as rose, herb, vegetable and children's gardens and gardens for cut flowers. The Australian Garden tells you how to plan in detail a garden that will suit your home and way of life, including getting the structural elements right, preparing for planting, and selecting plants and ornamental features. It provides plans for a wide variety of styles, extensive reference and planting lists, a 36-page gardening calendar for all Australian conditions and a host of colour photographs and illustrations. Learn all you need to know to achieve the perfect garden for you.
