Description

The Way We Garden by Reg Botha is a practical and inspiring gardening guide tailored to South Africa’s unique climates and conditions. Structured month by month, the book provides detailed guidance for each region of the country, ensuring gardeners know exactly what to plant, prune, and nurture throughout the year. From regular seasonal tasks to tips on composting, pest and disease control, and pruning, this book is filled with practical advice that makes gardening both manageable and enjoyable.

Each month also features a ‘Plant of the Month’ profile, along with handy hints and even wisdom from the whimsical character ‘the Ant.’ Adding a touch of creativity, the book includes insights into how the moon’s phases and the alignment of the earth’s elements can influence soil, planting, and growth. Gardeners can also enjoy light-hearted zodiac personality descriptions and use the spaces provided to jot down memories, reminders, and notes, making this not just a guide but a companion for every season.

A valuable resource for both new and experienced gardeners in South Africa who want to garden more effectively, enjoyably, and in harmony with nature.
