Gardening & Environment Education & Reference Travel & Exploration
Plains Wandering by James Ross and Tim Barlow is a 1998 Australian reference that celebrates the subtle beauty of native grasslands and dry-country flora. Its 152 illustrated pages guide green thumbs and nature lovers through identification, cultivation and landscape use of tough, charismatic plants often overlooked in mainstream gardening titles.
Written for curious young adults and adults alike, the conversational text blends botany, gardening tips and environmental insights without drifting into textbook dryness. Hobbyists seeking low-water flowerbeds or wildlife-friendly backyards will find practical inspiration on every page, while students of Australian ecosystems gain a compact visual primer.
The generously illustrated paperback remains in very good, smoke-free condition, ready to slip onto a shelf or into a field pack. Whether you collect regional gardening guides, Aussie nature writing or simply want a trustworthy companion for your next plains-wandering hike, this copy offers lasting reference charm without the premium of a new print run.
