Bee Dawson traces the development of gardening in NZ, from the Maori gardens of pre- and early contact times through the optimistic efforts of missionaries and other early settlers, the magnificence and productivity of the Victorians and Edwardians and the Dig for Victory campaigns of the 1940"s.
Illustrated throughout with historic photographs, paintings and ephemera Dawson"s lively writing style brings to life the successes and failures and the sense of achievement felt by New Zealand gardeners through the years as they coaxed plenty and beauty from a new earth. This book is both beautiful to loook at and a delight to read.
