Author: Don Watson
Title: The Nurseryman Of ÅOetaki
Description: Steele Roberts Aotearoa Publishers 2023 Softcover, 136pp. For home gardeners and horticulturists, Watson's Garden Centre is renowned throughout KÄ�piti and far beyond for the quality and range of its plants. Here is Don Watson's lively story of starting at the nursery as a devil-may-care teenager, eventually buying and nurturing it into the success it is today. Along the way are vivid tales of growing up in ÅOetaki, of having fun and making a bob among a cast of colourful characters, not least Don's rough-diamond father. There's hunting, fishing, diving and shell-collecting, and that's just before breakfast. There have been hard times too, but Don's humour, energy and down-to-earth attitude have ensured he's still going strong, well into his 80s, with a spring in his step and a twinkle in his eye. --Back cover. Large. (ISBN: 9781991153890). Mint.
