Gardening & Environment Education & Reference Travel & Exploration
Plains Wandering by James Ross and Tim Barlow is a richly illustrated 1998 Australian reference that invites nature lovers to explore the subtle beauty of native grasslands. Compact at 152 pages, this softcover blends botany, gardening tips and landscape insight for young adults and adults alike.
The authors guide readers through identifying, cultivating and conserving drought-tough plants that once roamed vast open plains. Vivid sketches and clear captions make it easy to spot key species and translate wild patterns into water-wise home gardens.
Whether you're landscaping a rural block or potting a balcony tribute to Australia's flora, this handy guide offers practical design notes, flowering calendars and propagation basics. Its eco-friendly focus feels especially timely as gardeners seek resilient, low-maintenance alternatives to thirsty exotics.
This gently used, smoke-free copy remains in very good condition, ready to join a travelling backpack or potting-shed shelf. A welcome addition for collectors of Australian horticulture, environment and nature titles.
