The New Native Garden

By Paul Urquhart

Designing with Australian Plants

The New Native Garden illustrates how to use native plants as part of a 'designed' garden.

By concentrating on style and design concepts such as mass, texture, shape and foliage, this book aims to dispel common misconceptions about the 'bush' garden. With detailed illustrations and planting plans, this easy-to-follow book opens up a whole new world of possibilities for the Australian garden. With its emphasis on design, The New Native Garden shows how Australian plants can be used for formal, courtyard, cottage and international styles but with a truly Australian twist.

Chapters include: Building A Garden, The Living Palette, Garden Styles, Garden Designs and Plans, Design details, Attracting Wildlife, Plant Selection, Garden Care.
