Yates Garden Guide

The latest, 43rd edition of the Yates Garden Guide is continuing one of the greatest traditions in Australian publishing.

With more than seven million sales over the past 115 years, the Yates Garden Guide is the all-time, best-selling book first published in Australia.

Yates Garden Guide is a ‘living’ book that, like all living things, has been able to adapt, grow and change with the times. And this new edition is a special celebration of Yates heritage and of its ongoing place in the Australian way of life.

This anniversary edition reflects this heritage by including a pictorial history of Yates and a chapter on the evolution of garden design in Australia.

The basic gardening information that has always made the Guide a favourite is still there, but there are also new problem-solving charts, chapters on establishing a range of garden styles and those endlessly popular, how-to sow-and-grow tables for flowers and vegetables. Handy hints from Australia’s top gardeners add special gems of wisdom to the book.

With renewed interest in growing food in our own backyards, Australians will find no more useful, practical and, with its historic touches, heartwarming book than the 43rd edition, Yates Garden Guide.
