{"product_id":"cruden-farm-garden-diaries-michael-morrison-9781921384158","title":"Cruden Farm Garden Diaries","description":"Cruden Farm was given to the late Dame Elisabeth Murdoch in 1928 as a wedding present from her husband Sir Keith Murdoch. The farm at Langwarrin, about 50 kilometres south-east of Melbourne, was a place she cherished throughout her long life. The beautiful garden she created there with gardener Michael Morrison is one of Australia's finest. In 1984 Michael began to keep garden diaries, a practice that endures to this day. He writes of the plants that have thrived and those they've lost, of terrible heat and freak storms, of escaped cows and memorable parties. The diaries recount the plans he and Dame Elisabeth hatched, the triumphs and tensions, the sheer fun of making a garden together. In an age preoccupied with selfies and spotlight chasers, Michael Morrison's diaries remind us of a different way of living - of more than forty years spent quietly but passionately dedicated to one special garden and its unique owner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Morrison,Lisa Clausen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1921384158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781921384158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lantern Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 7.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Michael Morrison","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48450053865727,"sku":"9781921384158","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a0198177-5f47-4b03-8e0a-e120fa3e1c02.jpg?v=1777266022","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cruden-farm-garden-diaries-michael-morrison-9781921384158","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
