Sustainable Gardening For Dummies, Australian and New Zeal (ePub)

Donna Ellis lives and breathes anything horticultural! Her passion
is obvious as she willingly shares her knowledge and experience

She is a horticulture teacher at South West Institute of TAFE in
Warrnambool, Victoria, a sustainable garden consultant, a garden

TAFE to Special Developmental Schools, a labour of love.

She is a member of a number of organisations and networks,
including Sustainable Gardening Australia, the Australian Garden
History Society and the Friends of
