1,000 Years of Gardening in New Zealand.

Helen Leach.

A fine and pioneering study of kitchen gardening in New Zealand, covering the entire span of the human occupation of the islands. The origin of nearly all the garden plants grown and harvested in the country today is overseas, either from warm central Polynesia or from temperate Europe. The history and use of many of these vegetable and fruit crops is described here. Illustrated with fine black and white drawings and a few colour plates. Scarce.
