The Old Country: Australian Landscapes, Plants and People
Australia is a nation of keen gardeners. This passion for plants sits uneasily with the knowledge that much of the country is running out of water. Many suspect that Australias many garden lawns and plants imported from the damp climates of northern European gardens are too demanding of scarce water supplies, but can't imagine their streets and gardens without them. This passionate, wise and witty book, enriched with breathtakingly beautiful illustrations tells stories about the Australian natural landscape and suggests some possible home-grown solutions to the nations water shortage problems.
