THE GARDEN ADVISOR Revised Edition: The Authoritative Resource for the Home Gardener

This book is the culmination of decades of research by Australia's own Garden Advisory Service at the renowned Burnley Gardens. The Garden Advisory Service answered questions and solved problems for home gardeners for many years; from plant disease and plant identification to soil analysis. Now that the Garden Advisory Service is no longer, The Garden Advisor is a trove of the Service's knowledge and experience.

New in this edition: Creating a cottage garden Minimising maintenance with groundcovers Selecting plants for small gardens Gardens for busy households Water in the garden The Mediterranean approach Attracting birds to your garden and natural pest control Combining natives and exotics Vegetable gardening Garden lighting

Plus expanded chapters on herbs, native plants, fruit trees and weed and pest control.

Whether you are an experienced gardener, or someone just starting out, The Garden Advisor is an invaluable reference.
