Gardening & Environment Art, Design & Photography Australiana
The Edna Walling Book Of Australian Garden Design by renowned landscape architect Edna Walling offers a concise look at her pioneering approach to garden planning and horticulture across Australia. This non‑fiction volume is a valuable resource for anyone interested in gardening, landscaping, or the history of Australian design.
Printed in a sturdy hardcover with an original dust‑jacket, the book presents Walling’s ideas with clear illustrations and thoughtful commentary, making it a fitting addition to collections of art, culture, and environmental literature. Its vintage status adds a collectible charm for both seasoned bibliophiles and new readers alike.
The binding remains tight and the pages are free of tears, dog‑ears, and stuck sheets, reflecting careful preservation in a smoke‑free home. The front and back inner dust‑jacket sleeves show some foxing, and the first two pages have light foxing, while a rare interior page bears a minor scuff—none of which affect readability.
Overall, this well‑maintained edition is an inviting read for adults, young adults, and even younger garden enthusiasts seeking insight into Australian garden design and the legacy of Edna Walling.
