Paul Bangay is Australia's most sought-after garden designer, with close to forty years' experience. Known for his mastery of scale, balance, form and colour, Paul draws on his lifelong study of the natural and classical worlds to create gardens around the globe.

This illustrated memoir explores the evolution of one of Australia's finest design minds. A visual delight, it ranges from photos of childhood gardens and goats to hand-drawn plans for Paul's earliest designs. Through never-before-seen materials, the story behind Paul's vision is revealed - and we see the creative workings that come to fruition in meticulous and timeless gardens.
