Secrets of the world's great gardens

How to apply them in your own garden

Learn how to create:

  • a garden of timeless style and unrivalled beauty.
  • a sustainable garden in harmony with the natural environment.
  • a healthy garden that thrives without harmful chemicals.
  • a refuge for native songbirds, frogs and other wildlife.
  • a water-wise garden that's easy to maintain and saves you time and money.

You'll also learn how to:

  • create a shortlist of the best plants for your garden.
  • choose between turf, lawn seed and ground cover alternatives.
  • recognise 'junk' plants (and why the nursery industry promotes them).
  • select a garden designer or landscape contractor.

You won't find this information in gardening magazines or TV garden makeover shows.

If you live in the Sydney region of New South Wales, Australia, the plant species lists – for bushfire protection, drought tolerance, fence screening, wildlife and more – will save you countless hours research. (We've done the research already).

And if you're looking for inspiration, be sure to visit the photo gallery and don't miss the quotes that inspire us.

I hope they inspire you too.
