The Eastern Regional Library Show

Each Wednesday 12:05pm-12:45pm Lesley Conway does a radio show on Eastern FM 99.1 called The Eastern Regional Library Show. Just in from Lesley.

On today's show

I must have brought the Sydney sunshine back with me, what a day!

Gardening was the theme for today, particularly mixed with gardener's memoirs. All the titles are by Australian authors, about Australian conditions. With a long hot summer ahead, this might be our last month to do some serious work in the garden. Or you could check out other people's gardens; look for Australia's Open Garden Scheme, copies available in all our branches. Some great titles which mix the practical with the personal are........
From the country by T.R. Garnett
The garden at Forest Hall by Susan Irvine
The organic garden doctor by Jackie French
Let's propagate : a plant propagation manual for Australia by Angus Stewart
Garden cuttings : reflection from an Australian gardener by Tim North
Over the fence by Shirley Stackhouse
Lawns into lunch : growing food in the city by Jill Finane

Music today from the soundtrack of the film De-Lovely, about Cole Porter.

Cheers, maryanne
