The New Zealand Garden Book by Julian Matthews

A Broad Practical Companion For Keen New Zealand Gardeners

Good Condition - Bumped and worn corners, small mark on front cover, light rubbing to edges.

Julian Matthews brings together eighteen chapters of gardening information in a guide shaped for New Zealand conditions. Soil care and maintenance provide a foundation before the book turns to annuals, perennials, bulbs, trees, shrubs, lawns and native plants. Further sections cover climbers, hedges, succulents, orchids, house plants and roses, alongside vegetables, herbs and fruit. Propagation and common pests and diseases extend its usefulness as a reference for everyday garden tasks. Colour photographs and line drawings accompany the text, helping readers connect plant choices and techniques with the garden around them. The collection offers an extensive starting point for planning, growing and maintaining a varied home garden.
