The Gardener’s Encyclopaedia of New Zealand Native Plants

Description

The Gardeners Encyclopaedia of New Zealand Native Plants
By Yvonne Cave & Valda Paddison

New Zealand’s unique and diverse native tiara includes hundreds of outstanding garden plants – from imposing specimen trees such as kauri and rimu, through the vast array of shrubs and herbaceous plants with admirable forms, foliage and flowers, to graceful grasses and quirky, mat-forming groundcovers.

The Gardeners Encyclopaedia of New Zealand Native Plants brings together for the first time over 1000 species, hybrids and cultivars in a highly illustrated, user-friendly, encyclopaedic volume.

Over 1000 species, arranged according to the Plants’ attributes and uses in the garden, include examples of landscaping possibilities as well as numerous plant portraits. The accompanying A to Z gives detailed descriptions, cultivation and propagation information (including regionally specific advice). There are also lists of plants with desirable features or for particular situations.

Yvonne Cave’s stunning photographs and Valda Paddison’s authoritative text combine to make a comprehensive and unique book that will be welcomed by gardeners, horticulture professionals, botanists and conservationists.
