      This book will unlock the secrets and practical 'tricks of the trade' a gardener needs to know to enjoy gardening in a harsh, dry climate. Western Australia is one of the world's most difficult gardening environments. Many gardeners in WA started out using northern hemisphere gardening techniques only to end up bitterly disappointed. The gurus demonstrate many different ways to grow beautiful and productive gardens in a waterwise manner using plants that come from all over the world as well as Australia.

So anyone can benefit; from the beginner through to the most proficient gardener. This advice, whilst developed in Western Australia is applicable across the world as water conservation becomes a critical issue for most communities.
