Win a Copy of Yates Garden Guide

What were you doing in 1895? Odds are you probably weren’t even a twinkle in the lawnmower man’s grandfather’s eyes! The good folk from Yates, however, were in the same place they have been ever since – the garden.
Yes, Yates certainly has a long history of producing informative and comprehensive gardening guides for Kiwi gardeners and, with the release of its 78th edition – which makes it one of the oldest of New Zealand books in continued publication – the tradition continues.
Published to mark the 130th anniversary of Yates in New Zealand, in addition to down-to-earth advice, this special edition features a pictorial history of the company in New Zealand, covers changes in garden styles and has a completely revised chapter on native plants.
From planning and designing layout, to propagating plants, gardening for the kitchen, gardening for kids, climate change, water-saving, fruit trees and ornamentals, if it’s about gardening it’s in the guide!
Soils, compost and worms get some close-up attention, as do destructive pests, diseases and weeds. Organic gardening is also comprehensively covered, with information about natural soil improvement, disease-resistant plants and coping with weeds.
Complete with hundreds of plant descriptions and a gardening calendar, the Yates’ Garden Guide is beautifully presented with detailed colour photographs, making it an essential addition to any keen gardener’s library.
