The Complete Book Of Australian Gardening: Jessie Boyd

One thing makes this a stand-out gardening book - the author, while having due respect for botanical science, is inclined to go her own way so much of the information in this book comes from her own beliefs. Therefore it is a very practical and interesting book. She covers garden planning and structure, small gardens, rock gardens, propagation, seedlings, lawns, trees and shrubs, camellias, azaleas, rhododendrons, lilacs and roses, annuals and perennials, bulbs and tubers, climbers, vegetables and fruit and so much more - and all for Australian conditions. With colour and black and white photographs.
