by Kyleigh and Michael Simpson

This is a book for those who love hardy heritage plants that keep growing and flowering in Queensland. “Overlooked and Over the Fence” is a title that suggests that there are traditional garden treasures to be found in older gardens when you look carefully.

The book travels through older bayside Brisbane suburbs and to Montville, includes plant inventories and many full colour photographs and drawings celebrating Queensland’s domestic gardening heritage.

This beautiful, large book of over 220 pages is full of beautiful photographs of warm climate garden plants and practical comments on the hundreds of species and cultivars which have been collected and grown by the authors, including many heritage roses.

The last section of this book has story’s plans and photographs of remembered family gardens .

This book is a celebration of Kyleigh and Michael’s enjoyment of gardening and their desire to share their enthusiasm for traditional plant varieties which are not just part of Queensland’s Gardening Heritage but offer so much for the future.
