Why We Garden: On the joy and wonder of growing things

Why We Garden by Hannah Moloney

$35.00 Inc GST

In a world of well-stocked supermarkets and florists, why do we garden, even though we don’t have to?

This was the question that fascinated Hannah Moloney. So she went out and asked. She spoke to politicians, artists, community leaders, activists and thousands of ordinary gardeners. This book explores their answers – sometimes surprising, often philosophical, always insightful. Much more than a gardening book, Why We Garden is a joyful, life-affirming exploration of nature, humanity and community. Featuring interviews with Tim Winton, Bruce Pascoe, Laura Tingle, Clare Bowditch, Bob Brown, Costa Georgiadis and many more.
