Jacket subtitle: a New Zealand story.

This is the story of one of New Zealand's top tourist attractions and the adventures of its exceptional gardener. Margaret Barker has spent four decades restoring Dunedin's Larnach Castle and its 14 hectare garden. In search of the right plants, Margaret has made expeditions to the Auckland and Chatham Islands as well as sub-Antarctic Campbell Island. With the picturesque Otago Peninsula as its backdrop, the spectacular garden features many hardy subtropical-style plants.
