Gardening

When renowned garden writer and horticultural expert Lawrie Metcalfe first published The Cultivation of New Zealand Native Grasses in the 1990s it was ahead of its time and sparked a landscaping revolution. Suddenly, all around New Zealand, council landscapers and landscape architects were discovering the joys of our wide range of tussocks and grasses, and mass plantings soon sprang up. This book has been out of print for some time and this Godwit reissue, with revised text, new photos and a repackage as a sister publication to his revised edition of The Propagation of New Zealand Native Plants (published in 2007) puts this invaluable sourcebook back among the gardener community. First published 1998; this revised edition September 2008, Auckland.
