An anthology of articles written by Tommy Garnett for 'The Age' over 15 years in his weekly column 'From the Country'. These provocative articles went beyond basic gardening issues to question a wide range of environmental and cultural assumptions. We see Garnett at his best, revealing a truly enquiring mind and wicked sense of humour. Seddon's commentaries traverse a wide range of themes to illustrate how Garnett, among others, ushered in a new environmental ethos -- which in turn has contributed to our better understanding today -- of what it is to be an Australian. Softcover, 265 pages, 15xm x 22.5cm, Bloomings Books, 2001.

The articles actually challenge you to think deeper about rural life and sustainability, not just how to plant a rose bush. I’ve been reading a few each night and they stick with me long after I put the book down.

Amelia ★★★★★

I picked this up hoping for more than just planting tips, and Garnett’s provocative takes on rural life really delivered. The way he questions conventional gardening wisdom in those weekly columns kept me turning pages.

Brian ★★★★★

This collection of Tommy Garnett's columns really captures a thoughtful, rural perspective that goes way beyond the usual gardening how-to. I’ve been reading a few articles each evening, and his provocative take on broader country life feels so relevant even years later. The hardcover binding is stu
