Waterwise Gardening

By Kevin Walsh

How to conserve water in the garden

Waterwise Gardening sets out the six vital principles by which we can have a beautiful garden and save water. It describes over 200 drought-tolerant trees, shrubs, ground covers, perennials and bulbs -- most of which are illustrated, and discusses their needs and features. This fourth, fully revised edition is full of information on waterwise design, the power of mulch, the pros and cons of various watering systems and products.

The book is well illustrated with superb colour photography to compliment the easy-to-follow text and diagrams. You will pick up handy tips on plant selection, contemplate changes to your garden's layout or get into the finer points of setting up a tank, or even using grey-water.
