Praise for Wellington Gardens

"This book is ideal for the Wellington gardener as it shows the diversity of growing conditions and microclimates in the Wellington Region and how gardeners can select and grow plants that will work for them. It also gives examples of people who have developed successful gardens throughout the region and the secrets of their success"
Mike Oates, Manager of Gardens and Natural Areas, Wellington City Council.

'The book gives good advice on how to create microclimates, improve soil, control weeds, and how to choose the right plants. Especially useful are plant lists, categorised by the conditions they will stand."
--Evening Post 2 November 2000.

' Thoroughly researched and well laid out….
In fact this is a Really Useful Garden Book…'
