Media Reviews
Do not dismiss this just because it is by an Australian gardener and about Australian gardens. It is a mine of information and inspiration, showing how talented Meredith Kirton is to the full. Written over the period of a year in her own garden, she discusses each season in depth - the highlights, the tasks, the pests, the projects to make the most of the seasons best. Most of the plants are readily available here and whilst many are grown outdoors all year round in Australia, they are more than happy to spend our winter in a conservatory or greenhouse. Lavishly illustrated and punctuated throughout with interesting asides, quotes and tips, it holds a wealth of horticultural know-how, chattily imparted with Meredith's easy style and underlined with solid horticultural expertise. Keen to share her fifteen years of gardening knowledge, her love of the subject is the book's strength and underlying theme. As she says in her introduction, a garden starts but never finishes and it is this fact that makes gardening a lifelong love to those who discover it. - Lucy Watson
