Review:

Best Australian Gardens and Landscapes is part of the Best of Series that includes Best Australian Architecture, Best Australian Interiors and Australia’s Best Beach Houses. If you’ve seen any of these other publications you’ll know the high standard of photography and subjects to expect with this next volume.

This is the prestige version of the multitude of gardening shows that you find on the free to air channels on the TV. The immaculate and breathtaking landscaping and gardening contained in these photos are truly amazing. When you see the amount of time and money that some people invest in their gardens and yards you will turn green with envy.

Definitely worth keeping on the coffee table to kick start conversations next time you’ve got guests over.
