New Zealand's benign climate creates superb growing conditions for flowers, fruit and vegetables, so it's no wonder that Kiwis love to turn their garden into a slice of paradise. Gardening enthusiasts will be able to pick up Dennis Greville's highly practical and beautifully illustrated gardening book and find some instant inspiration, and improvements they can make to their garden. Gardening in New Zealand Month by Month is structured around the four seasons, starting with spring, and each season is broken down into three months. Each month follows a standardised structure, with regular entries on feeding and watering; dealing with pests; and tending flowers, lawns, fruit trees, and vegetables. The content is written with the eco-friendly gardener in mind, and where possible Dennis proposes natural solutions rather than harmful chemicals. His voice of experience makes this book an authoritative, month-by-month manual to achieving garden excellence.
