Clearings create space. They transform landscape. And nowhere are these transformations clearer than in the colonial garden. Sumptuously illustrated, this book contains portraits of six colonial gardeners and includes many nineteenth-century botanical illustrations. 'Clearings' creates a pictorial narrative of plant and gardening development in Australia and is a feast for the eyes.
