DoP - October 2009

Paperback

Partly through a revival of interest in classic gardens, and partly out of a reaction to the severe, minimal look that dominates the style magazines, gardeners are increasingly turning to colour. In Colourful Gardens Dennis Greville takes us through the essential steps in creating a gloriously eye-catching garden. The introduction explains how to structure a garden along the basic principles of colour combinations. The following chapters are then given to the different colours or tones: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue/Purple, White, and Pastels. Each chapter showcases the use of each colour in scenic and close-up photography, describes the characteristics and uses of the colour, and includes a magnificent portrait gallery of 24 plants that span the full range of the spectrum and help the gardener keep colour going through the year. The result is a beautiful, inspirational and ... more

Get Fresh: How to Grow Delicious Vegetables and Herbs in New Zealand order quantity

Paperback
Author: Dennis Greville
Published by: New Holland Publishers (New Zealand) Ltd
In Stock: 2
Whether you live on a lifestyle block or you have a couple of planters in the back yard, you'll be surprised to find how easy it is to raise fresh, tasty vegetables and herbs for the table, especially with Dennis Greville's new book on hand to guide you. Illustrated with his superb photos, many taken at his own thriving plot in Christchurch, Get Fresh first lays the groundwork for all you'll need to know, from preparing the site and soil to cloche and greenhouse gardening, controlling pests and diseases, and other topics. It then provides the 'how to' on growing more than 60 individual vegetables and herbs. Though there's plenty of interest to green-fingered gardeners, Dennis also keeps the beginner in mind, so the emphasis is on realistic solutions and helpful tips. Plants are also rated on whether they suit the North or South Island climate, making this the only book you'll need, wherever you live, for growing great produce.

Companion Planting in New Zealand order quantity

NZ$ 25.00 each
Paperback
Author: Brenda Little (illus Ken Gilroy)
Published by: New Holland Publishers (NZ) Ltd
In Stock: 1
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. Her summary of good and ... more

One of our best-selling titles (years ago!) was New Zealand Native Plants for Your Garden by Julian Matthews. This new title by gardening writer and photographer, Dennis Greville, will reintroduce native plants to the New Zealand gardener. Native plants have had a resurgence of popularity in recent years because they are loved by designers and planners for their low maintenance and sculptural qualities as well as the fact that the cottage garden look is no longer fashionable. The book will feature great close-up images of plants as well as gardens featuring native plants in different styles. Each garden will be very different to give a sense of the variety of styles than can be achieved. Conditions and gardening advice will also be provided. This will be a celebration of New Zealand fauna.
