Drawing on three decades of horticultural expertise at the renowned Heronswood and St Erth gardens, Clive Blazey presents a definitive guide to cultivating a beautiful, harmonious landscape. Challenging the standardised suburban approach of impulsive, short-lived bedding plants, this book encourages gardeners to adopt a more artistic and enduring philosophy. Blazey teaches readers how to select superior plant varieties—focusing on form, foliage, and climate suitability—to create breathtaking perennial borders that thrive in Australian conditions.
From selecting the perfect garden style to mastering the seasonal rhythms of sowing, dead-heading, and soil health, the book serves as both an inspiring vision and a practical manual. Whether you are seeking to design a natural, formal, or cottage-style space, this work provides the knowledge required to move beyond basic gardening into the creation of an ultimate garden that provides lasting solace and visual splendour. Discover how to move past the temporary and embrace the perennial, ensuring your garden remains a source of beauty throughout the changing seasons.
