Let's Go Native | Guy Hessell

Over 80 per cent of New Zealand’s indigenous plants are found knowhere else on Earth, offering gardeners a rich palette of textures, colours and forms perfectly suited to local conditions.

In Let’s Go Native, Guy Hessell draws on years of hands-on experience in New Zealand gardens to provide practical, inspiring advice for incorporating native plants into gardens of every size and style. From modern urban courtyards to sprawling lifestyle blocks – and tips on rural riparian planting – this essential guide shows you how to design and plant an attractive, low-maintenance garden that reflects the natural splendour of Aotearoa and works beautifully with your space.

Featuring hand-drawn watercolour garden plans, Let’s Go Native brings ideas to life and helps you visualise the full potential of your own native haven.
