Gardening & Environment Science & Nature
Garden Escapees & Other Weeds Of Bushland & Reserves distills 152 pages of field-tested guidance from the Mid North Coast Weeds Committee into a portable softcover. Written for Australian gardeners, bush-carers and weekend walkers, it pinpoints which garden favourites jump the fence and smother local species, offering clear ID photos and control notes for each culprit.
The book keeps technical language light, pairing plain-English descriptions with region-specific flowering calendars and disposal tips that protect both backyard plots and nearby nature reserves. Readers will quickly learn to spot emerging invaders, limit chemical use and replace problem plants with safer local alternatives.
This clean, gently-read copy shows tidy pages free of annotations, ready to ride in a rucksack or glovebox for on-the-spot reference. Perfect for natural-history buffs, Landcare volunteers and coastal NSW gardeners who want practical Mid North Coast advice without wading through heavyweight textbooks.
