“Covering a lifetime of experience, this book details the development of a remarkable garden made by one woman on a low income. Suited to its dry climate, the garden (in central Victoria) is an example and encouragement to anyone wanting to create a garden of their own under conditions of restricted rainfall and extreme temperatures. Giving much practical advice on garden design, plant choices and maintenance, the book is also an account of the many influences, both philosophical and practical, shaping these gardening choices and ultimately a life.” (publisher’s blurb)
