In their classic book, gardening media personality Jane Edmanson and garden designer Lorrie Lawrence show you how to create beautiful gardens in many styles. There are plant-centred gardens, including Australian native and cottage gardens; gardens in the sun, in the tropics, in the shade and along the coast; gardens for balcony and courtyard; gardens of classical proportions, incorporating styles of other ages and other cultures; and gardens within gardens such as rose gardens, herb gardens, vegetable gardens, children's gardens and gardens for cut flowers.
'The Australian Garden' also tells you how to plan in detail a garden that suits your home and way of life; how to get structural elements right; how to prepare an area for planting; how to select plants and ornamental features; and how to maintain your garden throughout the year and over the years. 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 photographs and illustrations.
