Best NZ gardening book ever

Michelle - December 2022

This book is the best gardening book I've read. Its FULL of practical, time saving but earth friendly tips just right for NZ gardens. Kath has grown stuff in some tough spots, and what she has learnt (and is passing on to us) comes from experience, experimentation and endurance. She demonstrates that a vege garden can be beautiful and bountiful at the same time. You will not regret buying this book. Everyone from beginners to experts will get something from it.
