Why have a native garden? Is the aim to capture something of the magic of wild New Zealand, or to tie the garden more closely to the landscape by using local plants, or perhaps play a role in the conservation of a native species?

THE NATIVE GARDEN draws inspiration from the incredible richness and diversity of New Zealand's natural environment - from lush subtropical forest to vast tussocklands, from coast to mountain. It shows how the association of native plants in the wild can offer blueprints fro the garden, and helps us translate the big picture into small garden settings that echo the natural palettes and distinctive character of the landscape.
