Description:

A spirited defense of thenbsp;home garden, this fascinating study explainsnbsp;how Australia became the world's first great suburban nation, why Aussies are sonbsp;passionate about roses and gladioli, how social and economic developments have altered the layouts of front and back gardens, and reasons for the slow decline of the manicured lawn and the productive home vegetable-garden. The designs, plantings, andnbsp;hidden meanings of the ordinary garden are thoroughly explored, and the booknbsp;offers unique new perspectives on everything fromnbsp;fruit trees and woodsheds to rotary clotheslines and illuminated Santas at Christmas.
