A History of Gardening in New Zealand

Author:
Bee Dawson

An Englishman's home is his castle, but for the first European settlers who came to New Zealand, their first priority was to create a productive and, later, ornamental garden. Bee Dawson traces the development of gardening in New Zealand, from the Maori gardens of pre- and early contact times, through the optimistic efforts of missionaries and the other early settlers, the magnificence and productivity of the Victorians and Edwardians and the "Dig for Victory" campaigns of the 1940s. Illustrated throughout with historic photographs, paintings and ephemera, Dawson's lively writing style brings to life the successes and failures and the sense of achivement felt by New Zealand gardeners through the years, as they coaxed plenty and beauty from a new earth. This book is both beautiful to look at and a delight to read.

And Lovely is the Rose presents a selection of 50 roses whose charm has endured over generations. These thoughtfully selected roses are available worldwide to grace any garden, large or small. Each rose has been placed in chronological order so that the history of this beloved flower can be appreciated, as well as the years of patient breeding and cultivation that have gone into creating the modern roses of today. Among flowers, the rose is unique, as many varieties have the capacity to produce blooms for up to six months of the year in North America and Europe, and even up to nine months in warmer climates. The attribute of a long flowering period has been a consideration in the selection of roses for the book. As well as a brief note on the history and attributes of each particular rose, cultivation notes have also been included. And each rose is beautifully illustrated in an accompanying botanical painting.

When Brenda Little asked a friend what he understood by companion planting, he replied 'marigolds with everything'. From snippets of wisdom like this, and a wealth of experience gleaned from years of coping with unruly gardenns, Brenda Little devised a system of gardening relying on observation of nature, a respect for plants and animals and common sense.
Companion Planting
is the result - a notebook of gardening tips compiled from her own observations as well as suggestions from like-minded gardners.
Entertaining and often anecdotal, Brenda's notes are arranged alphabetically, allowing the reader to easily search for a particular plant or garden pest. In many cases, Brenda offers a method for encouraging a healthy crop, or discouraging a nuisance to the gardner: parsley, for instance, grows well with chives, but away from mint; while a light spray of seaweed solution will help to combat mildew.

"Is it hardy?" is often the first question gardeners in temperate climates ask about a plant. And generally they mean, "Will it survive severe frosts?"
Often plants are described as hardy (able to survive hard frosts), half-hardy (able to survive mild frosts) and tender (will be killed by any frost) and many plants are borderline hardy or half-hardy.
In this book Fell concentrates on what he terms 'iron-clad' hardy plants: annuals and perennials, woody plants, herbs, fruit and vegetables that can survive severe winters, especially where the ground freezes, with an emphasis on those that are relatively easy to obtain and look after, and that are most likely to add the strongest visual interest in a garden setting.

Small is beautiful, they say, and nowhere is this truer than in the garden: the tiniest balcony can be transformed by a few pots, and a space no more than 8 meters square can accommodate a patio, some flower beds, a water feature and a tiny veg patch. In this practical but inspirational book John Cushnie advises on: deciding what you want and making it fit the space; using light and shade to make the area look bigger; using plants to provide movement, color, shape and texture; ensuring shelter and privacy without loss of space; exploring the potential of a dark basement area; creating a front garden while leaving room to park the car; making the most a roof terrace or balcony. Whatever your plot size and your level of expertise, John Cushnie will boost your confidence and fill you with inspired ideas.
