The Tui NZ Vegetable Garden Book

The Tui NZ Vegetable Garden is a practical, comprehensive and highly illustrated guide to planting and maintaining a vegetable garden for the novice to the experienced gardener. In addition to general vegetable garden advice it includes specialised information on 74 common and more exotic vegetables and herbs. Each entry concludes with ideas for turning crops into tasty meals.

The Tui NZ Vegetable Garden is for New Zealanders and our local climate. Author Sally Cameron is an experienced fruit and vegetable gardener who has been growing edible crops for years and wanted to create a book that makes vegetable gardening easier.
