With the impending arrival of Christmas, there is often the question of ‘what should we get for so and so this year…?’
The knowledgeable and friendly team at Edgars Books and News will make it easy for you to get just the right gift, especially for those with a green thumb, interest in local flora and fauna, home restoration, interior design or outdoor projects.
The new Summer catalogue is in store now and will provide you with plenty of good ideas for gifts this year, including:
Paul Bangay – Australia’s most sought-after garden designer’s illustrated memoir is a visual delight and ranges from photos of Paul’s childhood gardens to hand-drawn plans of his earliest designs;
The Super Bloom Handbook by Jac Semmler presents 40 beautiful and easy flowers to grow from bearded irises to zinnias and teaches you how to seed, plant, prune and care for your blooms; and
Good Life Growing by ABC Gardening Australia’s Hannah Moloney, which is our pick of the bunch for the ultimate gift this Christmas. Hannah’s book gives all the
practical know-how to design, build and maintain an abundant garden full of fresh fruit and vegetables whether you’re gardening in a city rental, your own land in the country, in the tropics or in a cool climate.
With such diverse regions covered in the book, it is the perfect gift for loved ones near or far or, if you’re gifting it to yourself, one that you can refer back to time and again if you move from your current home.
For readers who want to learn new skills to use around the house and garden in woodworking, knitting, crochet, embroidering or stitching, there are plenty of options to choose from whether you’re a beginner or have some knowledge or skill in the craft.
