Urban gardening for beginners While Fionna will be the first to tell you she's not actually a Granny in the biological sense, she is most definitely a wise woman of the world who meets all the criteria for anyone's favourite Gran. When she decided to improve her health and grow her own food she had to find somewhere to grow it. Living in urban Auckland severely limited her options. While she could manage window boxes of micro-greens, she yearned for more space - and was utterly delighted to eventually find herself with a plot in the Grey Lynn Community Garden. Written from her experiences over the course of a year (give or take a few weeks) she documents the sheer delight and pleasure of exploring urban gardening as a beginner in a communal environment. the experience has brought her immense joy and some wild and wonderful moments of unexpected humour. In a breathtakingly honest, direct and fabulously original and delightfully wacky way, she takes the reader by the hand and shares her exploits, adventures, misadventures, successes, failures and enthusiasms as she discovers what works and what doesn't. Wonderfully honest, supremely life affirming and a book for gardeners and non-gardeners alike, if you aren't inspired by the end of A GREEN GRANNY'S GARDEN to go forth and plant then we're dreadfully sorry - you might as well go and put both feet in the grave right now.

A sweeping, multifaceted tale of a young Native American pulled between the cherished traditions of a heritage on the brink of extinction and an encroaching white culture, Gardens in the Dunes is the powerful story of one woman’s quest to reconcile two worlds that are diametrically opposed. At the center of this struggle is Indigo, who is ripped from her tribe, the Sand Lizard people, by white soldiers who destroy her home and family. Placed in a government school to learn the ways of a white child, Indigo is rescued by the kind-hearted Hattie and her worldly husband, Edward, who undertake to transform this complex, spirited girl into a “proper” young lady. Bit by bit, and through a wondrous journey that spans the European continent, traipses through the jungles of Brazil, and returns to the rich desert of Southwest America, Indigo bridges the gap between the two forces in her life and teaches her adoptive parents as much as, if not more than, she learns from them.

Tiger is a young cat who was cruelly treated by two young teenagers. Having escaped out of the house of these teenage boys, he fled as fast as he could away from his tormentors. He did not stop until he felt completely exhausted, which was miles away from the house and unknown territory for Tiger. Tiger finds his way into a garden. But this is no ordinary garden. It's the garden of Granny C., and Granny C. is no ordinary granny. Tiger has found his way into a magical garden where animals can talk to one another and talk to Granny C. At first, the other animals that are resident in the garden are afraid of Tiger. They are suspicious of the newcomer, thinking that he may have come to cause trouble. After making sure that Tiger understands the house--and garden--rules, Granny C. says that he can stay with them for as long as he likes and promises him he will be safe. A special bond is formed between Tiger and Granny C. News comes to the attention of Granny C. that a new family has moved into the village. They are rumored to be a family with two young, mischievous boys. She hears tales of them being troublemakers. Granny C. says that she isn't worried, however, as her home is quite a way from the village. But she is wrong to not be concerned. One night, the boys break into Granny C.'s cottage. It is the boys who get the shock of their lives. It's bedlam! The boys are so frightened that they run out of the cottage scared out of their wits. The boys think the ordeal is over once they are outside, but someone is waiting for them--Tiger. Tiger takes control and teaches the boys a lesson.
