Rose Thodey and Gil Hanly
Random House
$NZ49.95

TWENTY of the country's top designers tell the stories behind some of their gardens and their creative vision. Who better to relate and capture this than Rose Thodey and Gil Hanly? Their prose and pictures, respectively, give an insider's view into the life and work of our most talented in the field. From Auckland's Ted Smyth (again) to Canterbury's Chris Goom, there's a wealth of garden design wisdom here.
