AUSSIE DREAMS

Just in time for Christmas, photographer Claire Takacs has released a book of Australian gardens. This talented artist works around the world photographing beautiful gardens. Her images appear regularly in Australian and international gardening magazines. Her new book, Australian Dreamscapes (Hardie Grant Books, rrp $70), is a partner to Dreamscapes, which came out last year and showcased gardens from around the world. While there are 22 beautiful gardens included from across Australia, it is the generous helping of Tasmanian gardens that caught my eye.
