Tasmanian Gardens reimagines the very definition of a garden. It goes beyond perfect lawns and beautiful borders to the people, places and stories that inhabit this contrasting island state. From vast coastal headlands and kelp forests to gorgeous flower farms and gnome collections, the gardens of lutruwita/Tasmania are as diverse as they are delightful.
Photographer Alice Bennett and author Meg Bignell explore the gardens and landscapes of the island and unearth a whole library of tales told in plants, design, artistry, topography and very hard work. This book is a celebration of lutruwita/Tasmania from coast to mountain and suburb to town, where every garden is a story and every gardener is a storyteller.
'Finally, we have a coffee table book that celebrates Tasmania's wonderful gardens... Great gardeners are necessarily obsessive visionaries. Bignell tells their stories with verve and writerly skill, while Bennett captures the play of light, colour, landscape and detail.' Helen Cushing, Organic Gardener Magazine
'This hardback runs the gamut from an enchanting flower farm to a gorgeous city plot. One to treasure.' Better Homes & Gardens Magazine
