Great Gardens Australia - Richard Allen;Kimbal Baker

Take a stunning visual journey around Australia through a selection of exquisite private and public gardens. From the humidity of the tropical north and the searingly hot interior, to the cooler temperate south, Australia's local climates have inspired gardens as diverse as the continent. Great Gardens Australia - Richard Allen and Kimbal Baker's eighth book - celebrates thirty striking gardens, highlighting the vision, adaptability and ingenuity of the people who both created them and tend them today.

Peek into intimate sanctuaries and marvel at sprawling country estates, be inspired by the unique designs and plant palettes of each featured garden and admire the extraordinary challenges that gardeners face around the country.

Showcasing a range of gardens from those in tropical Darwin and Far North Queensland, to the Southern Highlands of New South Wales and the European-style gardens that populate the cooler hill stations of Victoria and South Australia, Great Gardens Australia features Richard Allen's insightful commentary and more than four hundred of Kimbal Baker's evocative photographs.
