Yates Garden Guide

Featuring a pictorial history of Yates in Australia and a new chapter about changes in garden design over the last century, this special anniversary edition is set to inspire heritage traditions in the modern garden.

Fully illustrated and detailing more than 1000 plant species, this book contains everything you need to know about growing trees, shrubs, vines, flowers, vegetables, herbs and fruit. Handy hints from Australia's leading gardeners will save you time and money and brand-new problem-solving charts will help you identify and deal with pests and diseases.

Chapters on designing and preparing a range of garden styles, including organic, low-allergen and water-saving gardens, along with container gardens for courtyards and balconies, make this the essential companion for all Australian gardeners.

Yates was founded by Arthur Yates, an Englishman who migrated to New Zealand in 1879 to escape the damp weather of his native Manchester. 132 years later, and with more than seven million copies sold since its first publication in 1895, Yates' Garden Guide is generally acknowledged to be the all-time bestselling Australian gardening book.
