Gardening & Environment Biography & Memoir Australiana
The Edna Walling Book of Australian Garden Design distils the legendary landscape architect’s timeless advice into one elegant hardcover. First released in 1987, this vintage edition pairs Walling’s graceful prose with period photographs to celebrate native plants, relaxed layouts and her trademark dry-stone walls.
Ideal for gardeners, designers and historians, the 144-page volume balances practical how-to with nostalgic charm. Readers will discover Walling’s pioneering approach to blending built structures with Australia’s unique terrain, a philosophy still echoed in contemporary sustainable landscaping.
This copy is clean and tightly bound; pages are free of notes, dog-ears or smoke odour. The protected dust jacket shows only light shelf wear and a 1 cm edge tear, while the page block carries two minor marks—cosmetic quirks that never intrude on readability.
Collectors seeking authentic mid-century Australian garden inspiration will value this well-preserved hardback. Secure Walling’s classic guidance today and re-imagine your outdoor space with one of the country’s most influential designers.
