"The author first shows the importance and ease of designing the garden with the desired features.  Following this, considerable space is devoted to the various trees and plants and their suitability for your garden in your area.  Chapters include: Colour in the Garden, Ground Covers, Flowering Guide, Hedges and Windbreaks, Irrigation, and many other areas of interest.
Practical help is given on every aspect of bush gardening, including the construction of walls and steps, rock gardens, and garden ponds.  Information on the maintenance of a bush garden includes suggestions on composts, mulches, fertilisers, weedkillers, and the growing of native plants from cuttings and seeds."
