Category: Gardening & Self Sufficiency

Create simple solutions for growing organic gardens! The word "hack" has a multitude of meanings these days, but if you ask garden author Shawna Coronado what a hack is, she might just wave her hand toward her own back yard. She could be pointing at the garden bench she created from leftover wood posts and a few cinder blocks, or the rows of wine bottles buried soldier-style along a winding pathway, or even the garden soil itself, which is blended by hand from an organic soil recipe she devised. A hack is really just a great idea that's come to life. In 101 Organic Garden Hacks you'll find the top tips, tricks, and solutions Shawna has dreamed up in her career as one of America's most creative gardeners. Some are practical timesavers; others offer clever ways to "upcycle" everyday items in your garden. One characteristic every hack shares is that they are completely organic and unfailingly environmentally friendly. Divided into a dozen different categories for easy reference, each hack is accompanied by a clear photo that shows you exactly how to complete it. If you are looking for resourceful ways to improve your garden and promote green living values right at home, you'll love paging through this fascinating, eye-catching book. ...Show more

The Secret Gardens of Somerset - A Private Tour by Abigail Willis; Clive Boursnell (By (photographer))

$55.00 NZD

Available Stock:

Category: Gardening & Self Sufficiency | Series: Secret Gardens Ser.

The seventh largest county in Britain, Somerset is blessed with a mild climate, fertile soils and diverse landscapes that include the low lying Levels, a Jurassic coastline, the moorland uplands of Exmoor, and a collection of hill ranges, from the limestone Mendips in the north to the Poldens in the cen tre and the Blackdowns, Brendons, and Quantocks to the West. Somerset has long appealed to gardeners - this is the county in which two outstanding garden makers of the 20th-century - Margery Fish at East Lambrook Manor and Penelope Hobhouse (Hadspen, Tintinhull) - chose to make their gardens. Notable historic gardens include Hestercombe (two gardens for the price of one, with its restored 18th-century landscape 'stroll' garden and Jekyll/Lutyens 'Great Plat'), and Arts & Crafts style gardens at Barrington Court and Lytes Cary. Taunton, Somerset's county town, hosts one of the oldest flower shows in the country, started in 1831 and still thriving. Somerset's gardening scene is ever evolving. Sarah Mead's organic garden at Yeo Valley is one of only a few certified organic ornamental gardens in the UK, Piet Oudolf's 'Field' at Hauser & Wirth has given Bruton its own pocket of prestige prairie planting, while just down the road at The Newt (formerly known as Hadspen House and gardened by Penelope Hobhouse and Sandra and Nori Pope), is a highly lauded new garden and garden museum which opened in 2019. At Kilver Court in Shepton Mallet, an early 20th-century garden designed for factory workers and set against the uncompromising backdrop of a railway viaduct has been re-invigorated by fashion designer Roger Saul who has restored its 1960s rock garden and added a modern parterre of his own design. Charming lesser known gardens in Somerset include Midney Gardens, the Bishops' Palace in Wells, the Walled Garden at Mells, and the late Jean Lorraine's Greencombe Gardens, a organically run woodland garden overlooking the Bristol channel in Porlock. Somerset is home to top-flight nurseries such as Avon Bulbs, Kelways Nursery, Elsworthy Cottage Plants and Pennard Plants, along with excellent smaller enterprises such as CB Plants at Lower Severalls, and Long Acre Nursery, specialists in shady plants. Somerset's landscape has been shaped by horticulture: the Levels became a centre for intensive horticultural peat extraction in the 1960's. And for years a county that westward bound tourists raced through intent on getting to the holiday resorts of Devon and Cornwall, Somerset is increasingly recognised as a rewarding destination in its own right and whose inspirational gardens - historic and modern - reveal a seam of creativity every bit as fertile as its famous peat. ...Show more

$175.00 NZD

Available Stock:

Category: Gardening & Self Sufficiency

The internationally acclaimed architect's grounds of his Hamptons estate on Long Island, New York--a lush garden oasis masterfully transformed over the course of two decades.   Peter Marino's quintessentially American landscape is a combination of organizational rigor and a joyful informality in the u se of plant materials. The gardens feature carefully curated plants, trees, and flowers on twelve acres including a "color wheel" of purple, pink, red, and yellow gardens, evergreen trees, an apple orchard, a formal rose garden, and nearly forty works of art by Fran ois-Xavier and Claude Lalanne. Seasonal floral highlights include the colorful blooms of azaleas in the late spring, roses in June, and hydrangeas in the summer.   This book shows the landscape in different seasons and moods, captured in both a laid-back grandeur-- sunny vistas, moonlit moments, the beauty of natural elements and sublime works of art--and in a moody atmosphere, when the dramatic light after a summer storm imbues the garden with a romantic haze. The garden is presented as a picturesque example of a first-rate contemporary landscape and as a dreamlike Eden. ...Show more
