Oxford Companion to Australian Gardens

The (Oxford) Companion to Australian Gardens is the first comprehensive reference book to cover all aspects of Australian gardens, and the history of gardening and garden design in Australia. The book is comprised of over 400 thematic, bibliographic and place based entries, and is extensively illustrated and cross referenced to ensure ease of use and thorough coverage of the field. The Companion contributes to the understanding of gardens and gardening by including entries on designed landscapes, agriculture, architecture, art, botany, ecology, forestry, horticulture, landscape architecture, town planning and viticulture and will become the standard reference on the subject.
