Synopsis

Explore twelve intriguing and unique New Zealand gardens and learn from the talented gardeners who created them.

From a hidden suburban food forest to a flower farm to an organic vegetable patch to a large station garden, each is described in detail, along with their owners' challenges and delights.

The gardens have been selected for their diversity in style and for the humble, passionate home gardeners who planted them. These growers have developed a wealth of knowledge over their lifetimes and have generously contributed their practical advice and wisdom.

Though each garden is so different, they all embody the values of sustainable gardening practices, of tuning in and learning through observation, of kaitiaki and of knowledge sharing.
