Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket is in good condition with wear to top and tail edges. Interior and binding are still very good.

Remembered Gardens is the story of Elizabeth Macarthur, Georgiana Molly, Louisa Anne Meredith, Una Falkiner, Winifred West, Beatrice Bligh, Edna Walling and Kath Carr - women whose passions for their gardens and for garden making have shaped our relationship with the Australian landscape.

Through personal records and public archives, Holly Kerr Forsyth brings to life these women's experiences. Their challenging and sometimes tragic stories are set against the backdrop of their gardens, providing them with a sanctuary and a way to express themselves in this often hostile environment. For later women like Edna Walling and Kath Carr, gardens also allowed them to carve out a significant career and reputation.

Beautifully illustrated, Remembered Gardens celebrates these women's lives with more than two hundred photographs of some of Australia's foremost gardens. It is a rich commemoration of more than two centuries of gardening in Australia and of the role of women in establishing a rich gardening heritage. Australia's gardens would not be the same without them.
