The Yates Garden Guide is the standard practical gardening reference for Australian and New Zealand gardens, and this ANZ edition is the fully revised and updated one, put together with Yates horticulturist Angie Thomas.
It covers more than a thousand plants, native and exotic, with advice on soils, climate, planting, feeding and keeping things alive. There are chapters on trees, shrubs, fruit, vegetables, flowers, indoor plants and lawns, month-by-month guides on what to sow and grow, and problem-solving charts for working out what is eating your tomatoes. Newer sections cover water-wise gardens, small spaces and apartments, keeping chooks, encouraging bees and birds, and growing natives.
The reliable, all-in-one gardening handbook to keep on the shelf, for beginners and old hands alike.
