Synopsis:

When her tiny but perfect city courtyard garden transformed itself into an estuarine mudflat in the rain, landscape architect Philippa Swan knew it was time for a change. She couldn't exactly visualize her new garden but she knew it should be a shortcut out of the city, a "somewhere-else" garden. This book tells of the disasters and triumphs of making a real garden in an area the size of a single-car garage. Along with tips for using hairdryers and sticky tape in the garden, and turning wine into water, it offers a Mars and Venus explanation for why men like hairy fantasies and growing really big pumpkins, and insights into why courtyard gardens live fast and die young.

The Bookworms Mission:

We strive to reduce unnecessary landfill by taking used books, second-hand books, paperback books, hardback books, pre-loved books, great reads and recycled books and then redistributing them throughout New Zealand, Australia and the rest of the world. Readers can connect online with book titles, helping them find new homes, and support reusing and re-loving books that are affordable. At Bookworms you’ll find cheap books, hidden gems and even some lost treasures. We have a passion for sustainability, being eco-friendly, eco-conscious and we aim to incorporate that into all that we do.
