ABORIGINAL PEOPLE & THEIR PLANTS
[Philip A Clarke]
This book will provide an overview of indigenous relationships to plants in Aboriginal Australia. The impetus for the book is largely drawn from the establishment of the new permanent Australian Aboriginal Cultures Gallery at the South Australian Museum, which presently receives over 700,000 visitors per year. The book contains themes that the author has been researching for twenty years. The book is unique, spanning the gap between botany and indigenous studies. It differs from other 'bushtucker' overviews by treating the study of plants as a window upon which to delve into Aboriginal culture. There are four main sections. Part 1 gives insights into Aboriginal culture through looking at the roles of plants in language, ritual and religion. Part 2 demonstrates how Aboriginal people were actively involved in managing their environment. Part 3 focuses upon the importance of particular species of plant to make food, drink, medicine, narcotics and tools. Part 4 looks at the future of Aboriginal plant use.

GROWING BULBS
((Gardens in the Sun Series))
[Robyn Rohrlach]
The bulbs are described in a way that should make them irresistible to any gardener feeling bored with the look of what confronts him/her whenever he/she steps outside or gazes from the window. Suddenly a splash of colour not apparent yesterday under a shady tree or a bold clump of leaves unfurling by the path near the front gate will draw one out. The bulbs will be described indicating not only their suitability within the Mediterranean climate range but where they may be grown to the best effect. The kind of company they may keep will be given consideration with ideas on suitable combinations of plants described. Ten categories will enable the reader to choose either familiar, uncommon or unusual bulbs that can provide that desired focal point or enhancement in a garden at different times of the year. Within this framework a range of bulbs will be described in as much detail as required to clearly present their requirements. Included wherever possible will be the dimensions of each one, their degree of difficulty and current availability in commerce.

GUERILLA GARDENING
: A Manualfesto
[David Tracey]
The term "guerrilla" may bring to mind a small band of armed soldiers, moving in the dead of night on a stealth mission. In the case of guerrilla gardening, the soldiers are planters, the weapons are shovels, and the mission is to transform an abandoned lot into a thing of beauty. Once an environmentalist's non-violent direct action for inner-city renewal, this approach to urban beautification is spreading to all types of people in cities around the world. These modern-day Johnny Appleseeds perform random acts of gardening, often without the property owner's prior knowledge or permission. Typical targets are vacant lots, railway land, underused public squares, and back alleys. The concept is simple, whimsical and has the cheeky appeal of being a not-quite-legal call to action. Dig in some soil, plant a few seeds, or mend a sagging fence -- one good deed inspiring another, with win-win results all around. "Guerrilla Gardening" outlines the power-to-the-people campaign for greening our cities. Tips for effective involvement include: finding plants and seeds cheap (or free); handling city officials; getting the dirt on soil; planting to bring back the birds; knowing when to ask permission and when to seek forgiveness. Social activists, city dwellers and long-time gardeners will delight in this fast-paced and funny call to arms.

NATURE-FRIENDLY GARDEN
: Creating a Backyard Haven for Plants, Wildlife & People
[Marlene A Condon]
Many people approach gardening as a constant struggle with the outside world. They're perpetually at war with nature, investing in weed killers and fighting off deer and birds, all in an effort to preserve their garden as a pristine patch of earth. Marlene A Condon proposes a radically different method: What if, instead of battling the natural world, we invite it into our backyards? The result is the nature-friendly garden, which attracts and meets the needs of common creatures -- rabbits, toads, insects, squirrels, owls, and so on -- while maintaining a thriving, varied landscape of flowers and plants. And as this thought-provoking guide demonstrates, coexisting with nature doesn't mean turning your yard into a bramble-infested wilderness. The sustainable, low-impact garden described in these pages is a model of environmental balance, fostering species diversity while keeping wildlife damage and invasive plant growth at an acceptable minimum. Best of all, it offers a privileged look at the workings of nature, and its advice on observing wildlife is sure to open up a new and fascinating world for even the most experienced gardener.

SPIRITUALITY OF GARDENING
[Donna Sinclair]
This is a celebration of the beauty of our gardens and of the deep lessons and meanings they whisper to us as we spend time with them. For Sinclair, gardening is about much more than planting bulbs and thinning perennials; it is about more than weeding beds and maintaining walkways, more than sculpting shrubs and trimming trees -- though it can involve all of these things. Gardening is a deeply spiritual experience and practice. Like all spiritual practice, it is ultimately about connection. It is about balance and harmony, about memory and hope, about healing and acceptance, and even, in this increasingly paved-over world, about revolution. Lavishly illustrated with stunning, full-colour photographs, Sinclair's expansive and beautifully crafted vision honours the blessings of sunlight, earth, water and air found in our own gardens, and, in so doing, awakens us to a deep love and compassion for planet earth, the original garden paradise -- a precious gift from the source of all love and beauty.
