This book showcases over 30 of New Zealand's most magnificent gardens, from the Far North to Southland, and Stewart Island. Since the author's first visit here, he has been amazed at the variety of the plants grown in New Zealand, combined with the country's spectacular scenery and the skills of local gardeners and landscapers. From these many trips, he has selected the very best of his photographs in this tribute to New Zealand gardens. Derek Fell has interviewed the garden owners and researched the history of these special places. Each garden is introduced by his lively and informative text. There is also a general introduction to the development of gardening in New Zealand and where it stands today.
