E-Books →Wild by Design Naturalistic Gardening for Modern Australian Landscapes

'An essential book for anyone exploring the wilder side of gardening.' -Paul Bangay
In Wild by Design, Tim Pilgrim shares the joys of naturalistic gardening - an approach inspired by the dynamic beauty of untamed plants, the garden as wildlife habitat, the rhythm of the seasons, our future climate, and the visual rewards of relaxing our need for control.
With stunning photography by Martina Gemmola, Wild by Design presents the creative inspiration, information and tools you'll need to create your own plant-driven naturalistic garden, whether you're starting with an existing garden or a blank slate. Learn аbout:
* soil
* materials
* composition
* propagation
* maintenance.
As well, Tim shares a detailed pictorial guide to his 100 most trusted and useful plants for naturalistic compositions.
More than a how-to guide, though, Wild by Design is a deep reflection on the naturalistic movement in an Australian context, capturing the change, texture, climate, looseness and light that make Australian naturalistic gardens unique in the world. It's a book for ambitious home gardeners both urban and rural, as well as professional landscape designers exploring new philosophies of gardening, and anyone who finds joy in gardens.
