Publishers Description: The Australian continent holds an extraordinary range of climates and conditions which have resulted in richly varied gardens. This book tells the story of 46 gardeners, from a fifth-generation pastoralist to a passionate cycad-collecting policeman, who work with climate peculiarities for their gardens. Opening their gardens and meditations to the public, the gardeners explain how they balance the demands of continuity against changing times; make innovative marriages brought in by the wider perspective provided by travel and reading; and yet create gardens with a distinctly Australian sensibility.
