The beguiling agile wallaby on the front cover of this season’s issue of Our Gardens gives a clue to Suzanne Mutch’s story about the creation of the tropical garden she is proud to share with native wildlife says Editor Judy Horton.
Our Gardens is published by The Garden Clubs of Australia and circulated to its membership and to any interested gardeners. Also in this issue:
- English garden writer Mark Lane outlines the way gardeners can face future challenges and adapt their gardens accordingly.
- On a similar theme, Kate Wall provides advice about handling climate change in the garden.
- Landscaper Andrew Cottam tells us which native plants he recommends for their beauty and ease of growth.
- John Mason from ACS Distance Education provides tips on adding impact to the garden.
- Peta Trahar writes about Echinops, another unusual and attractive plant in her amazing Bilpin garden. And Maureen Lucas tells us about the rare titan arum that attracts thousands to each flowering.
- Geoff Crowhurst encourages everyone to try bougainvilleas, even in cooler climates.
- Wendy Wu Tours points out that there is far more to Japanese gardens than the spring cherry blossom display.
- June Taylor recommends that everyone should try growing chillis.
- And Isa Harding tells a heart-warmingly familiar story of how she learnt to garden the hard way – by experiencing a series of failures!
- There’s even a Christmas floral design special.
There’s also lots more in our sections on New Releases, Diary Dates, In Touch and Seasonal Tips. We announce the winners of the GCA Annual Awards, explain how to buy the GCA 2026 Calendar (filled with readers’ beautiful garden photos) and have a special Christmas bonus – Aussie Gardener is giving away one of their fabulous gardening aprons to a lucky subscriber. All this in Issue 107 of Our Gardens.
