No matter how small, a garden offers great rewards. Each season brings fresh challenges and fresh pleasures. Visual delights, scents and edible treats all come from gardening. Whether carrying out basic chores, designing, planting or using flowers and produce from the garden in the home, this book will inspire gardeners and armchair gardeners alike.

Dig: Seasonal Gardening is a rich source of innovation and inspiration, season by season, from the respected Australian garden designer, writer and broadcaster Meredith Kirton. This is an indispensable companion for both the novice and the experienced gardener. Lavishly illustrated with beautiful photographs, it is packed full of down-to-earth advice and in-depth horticultural information. Meredith Kirton's passion for gardening shines out in this rich fund of fresh ideas and exciting new approaches to all aspects of cultivation and design. There are step-by-step guidelines for essential gardening techniques, checklists for each season and a range of projects. From grasses to citrus trees, from ground cover to climbers and from bulbs to herbs, this comprehensive how-to and when of gardening will inspire and inform.

Dig: Seasonal Gardening is divided into seasons, then each season is divided into sections:

• Overview of the season
• Annuals, perennials and bulbs
• Grasses, ground covers and climbers
• Shrubs and trees
• Herbs, fruit and vegetables
