No matter how big or small your garden is there is bound to be helpful advice in here for you. The book introduces the main types of weeds and insects found in New Zealand, and covers everything from flowers, trees and shrubs through to vegetables, herbs and fruit. With its protective plastic cover, it’s a really practical companion for the Kiwi gardener.
