A History of Gardening in New Zealand order quantity

NZ$ 50.00 each
Paperback
Author: Bee Dawson
Published by: Godwit
In Stock: 3
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.

DoP - October 2009
270x210mm / 144pp
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

Companion Planting in New Zealand order quantity

NZ$ 26.00 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

While Fionna will be the first to tell you she's not actually a Granny in the biological sense, she is most definitely a wise woman of the world who meets all the criteria for anyone's favourite Gran.

When she decided to improve her health and grow her own food she had to find somewhere to grow it. Living in urban Auckland severely limited her options. While she could manage window boxes of micro-greens, she yearned for more space - and was utterly delighted to eventually find herself with a plot in the Grey Lynn Community Garden.

Written from her experiences over the course of a year (give or take a few weeks) she documents the sheer delight and pleasure of exploring urban gardening as a beginner in a communal environment. The experience has brought her immense joy and some wild and wonderful moments of unexpected humour.

Anyone who has ever visited Central knows it's a special place.
