With Nature offers an inspiring perspective on garden design and landscaping.

In this beautifully illustrated book, Fiona Brockhoff guides us through her various gardens in Australia—some of which have never been showcased before—offering tips, design advice, and inspiration to help you create your own sustainable and naturalistic gardens. Her work spans from small urban spaces to expansive coastal and rural properties, all brimming with fresh and innovative ideas.

Fiona Brockhoff is renowned in Australia for her environmentally sustainable garden designs. She creatively uses native plants shaped like topiary, along with climate-appropriate exotic plants and varied textures, to give her gardens a unique character. By incorporating indigenous plants with muted colors like grey, silver, and olive green, she focuses on creating spaces through shape and form rather than relying on transient flower colors. Most of her gardens thrive on natural rainfall and require minimal maintenance, except for vegetable gardens and chicken coops, which she recommends including.

With Nature is sure to surprise and delight, offering inspiring ideas and planting styles that challenge conventional garden design.
