Flourish: New Zealand Women and Their Extraordinary Gardens by Barb Rogers; Juliet Nicholas

$55.00 NZD

Available Stock:

Category: Gardening & Garden Design

This book celebrates the endeavours and achievements of women gardeners who are responsible for some of the most-admired gardens within New Zealand. Often starting as a home-based hobby, fitting around child care and other domestic tasks, the gardens developed by the women featured in this book have evo lved into living works of art. Scattered from the far north to Stewart Island, these gardens have a few things in common. Each one has been developed by a woman responding to her own landscape and locale with energy and verve. Often an outlet for a creative urge, the gardens portray a wide cross-section of styles. The stories of the gardeners also share common bonds - hard work and a passion for the landscape - but also stories of combating isolation, loss and joining a sisterhood of gardeners. Some gardens are well known and justly celebrated both here and overseas- Bev McConnell's Ayrlies in Auckland, and Margaret Barker's garden at Larnach Castle in Dunedin. Others are undiscovered gardens worthy of wider attention. Gracious country rose gardens, inner city courtyards and edible gardens all feature. ...Show more

The Natural Gardener by John C. Harris

Category: Gardening & Garden Design

Humans and the world around us have been governed by the waxing and waning of the moon since the planet came into being. Over the centuries different civilisations have embraced the natural cycles which our moon dictates, and so lunar gardening has been around for as long as man has pulled food from the soil; once practised bythe Incas and Native Americans, this tried and trusted method has been largely forgotten. John Harris, head gardener at Tresillian Estate in Cornwall, has been gardening using the power of the moon for over forty years. The methods he uses can be implemented anywhere, you do not need fancy tools, expensive seeds or substantial acreage, but instead, given time, patience and care, the results can be breathtaking. This is gardening at its most natural and organic, free from pesticides and unnecessary interference. Moon Gardening allows the soil and plants to thrive, giving nature the chance to do what it does best. The Natural Gardener charts John's story from a rudderless young lad in a Cornish village to being charged with the salvation of the long-neglected gardens at Tresillian. As he shares with his readers exactly how to go about following the sesimple and natural principles, he imparts his abundance of horticultural knowledge from years spent working in harmony with the soil, providing a timely link back to nature and the reassuring regularity of the seasons. ...Show more

Category: Gardening & Garden Design

Paradise Through the Seasons: A Year in the Life of Trotts Garden is a unique book, beautifully illustrated with over 330 photographs of the Trott garden as it develops through each season of a year. Originally a 4-hectare block of bare land with an old house, horse stable and thirteen trees, the Trott’ s Ashburton property was a blank canvas on which Alan could fulfill his dreams. His work has earned the property the title A Garden of International Significance, which is graded by the New Zealand Gardens Trust. In this, his second book, Alan guides us through the unique attributes of each season as it plays out in the Woodland Garden, the Red Garden, the Pond and Damp Garden, the Formal Garden – comprising knot gardens that have been described as some of the most sensational in the world – the Border Garden and, finally, the Brantwood Chapel. From an elegantly snow-dusted winter wonderland through to the splendidly bold foliage of the Red Garden that Alan is renowned for, this year-long portrayal of a spectacular garden is both enchanting and instructive. The plant portraits and stunning vistas, all photographed by Alan, show the beauty of the garden through each of the four seasons. This is Alan’s second book on his garden, the first being From Pasture to Paradise: The Story of Trotts Garden, which focuses on each garden in turn. The garden is open most days of the week during spring, summer and autumn, but telephoning or emailing for an appointment is always advisable. ...Show more

Forest Walking Among Trees by Matt Collins; Roo Lewis

Category: Gardening & Garden Design

Forest is a celebration of the diverse ways in which trees and forests are as magnificent, economically relevant and profoundly enchanting today as they ever have been. Journeying across the continents, writer Matt Collins and photographer Roo Lewis tie together both the historical context and modern-da y applications of some of the world's most fascinating and iconic trees. They explore the heritage of woodlands from around the world and meet those whose lives are inexplicably bound to them. The book is divided into 10 main chapters, each of which explores a tree from a particular genus - Pine, Juniper, Oak, Hornbeam, Cherry, Beech, Birch, Chestnut, Douglas-fir and Poplar. Each chapter provides the reader with a short introduction to the tree, followed by a journalistic account of its relevance to modern day-life (from gin making on Isle of Islay to a truffle farm in Spain), and concludes with an account of the tree in its native forest (from hornbeams in the Ironwoods of Ontario to firs on Vancouver Island). Captured on medium-format film, Roo's stunning, rich colour images are the perfect companion to Matt's engaging storytelling and botanical knowledge. Forest crafts a captivating interpretation of the story of the forest through the trees. ...Show more

Trees (Gift Edition): Between Earth and Heaven by Art Wolfe (By (photographer))

$52.99 NZD

Available Stock:

Category: Gardening & Garden Design

Art Wolfe's immersive photos capture the wonder humans have felt about trees for millennia. From the ancient Assyrian Tree of Life to the Iroquois peoples' Tree of Peace, trees have played an archetypal role in human culture and spirituality since time immemorial. An integral part of a variety of faith s--from Buddhism and Hinduism to Nordic and aboriginal religions--trees were venerated long before any written historical records existed. This sense of reverence and wonder is beautifully evoked in these vivid images from legendary photographer Art Wolfe. The new, giftable format of his celebrated book on the topic, Trees, focuses on both individual specimens and entire forests, offering a sweeping yet intimate look at an arboreal world that spans six continents. To accompany these timeless images, author Gregory McNamee weaves a diverse and global account of the myths, cultures, and traditions that convey the long-standing symbiosis between trees and humans, and renowned ethnobotanist Wade Davis anchors the text with a penetrating introduction. Humans have always shared this planet with trees, and this book is both a breathtaking journey through and an homage to that relationship and its past, present, and future--now in a new, beautiful, and highly giftable format. ...Show more
