Description:


Whether on the ground or in the mind gardens carry meaning. They reflect social and aesthetic values and may express hope, anticipation or grief. Throughout history they have provided a means of physical survival. In creating and maintaining gardens people construe and construct a relationship with their environment. But there is no single meaning carried in the word 'garden': as idea and practice it reflects cultural differences in beliefs, values and social organisation. It embodies personal, community even national ways of seeing and being in the world.

There are ten essays in this book, each of which examines the role of gardens and gardening in the settlement of New South Wales and in growing a colony and a state. They explore the significance of gardens for the health of the colony, for its economy, for the construction of social order and for personal identity.

For the immigrants gardening was an act of settlement and also a statement of possession. For a long time it was with memories of 'home', often selective and idealised, that settlers made gardens but as the colony developed its own character so did gardening possibilities and practices.

Does Everything and More
Color: Oak
This stand allows me to raise my large monitor. It also gives me storage space for my sound bar, laptop, pillcase and more! I place my keyboard and mouse pad on the lowest portion of the stand when not in use. I like the two drawers on the side. I also like that there is room for a light and pencil case holder to the right of it. I had a real problem organizing my stuff on my desk but now I have a location for everything. I survived without it for so long, but now that I have the stand, I am really please with the set up. The only down side to having this with a large monitor is that it will block out a window completely. I had to buy a gaming light and install it from behind to give light to the front of the desk. Now my desk is fabulous. Great product but make sure that your desk is large enough to house this monitor riser as it is large. It does go on sale occasionally. So you can put a watch on the stand and purchase it when the price drops.

Great organizer
Color: Oak, Color: Oak
I was searching for a desk organizer that would provide some organization while also allowing me to keep my monitors at a comfortable height for better visibility. After reading positive reviews, I decided to purchase this item. I’m thoroughly satisfied with it. It features two drawer slots underneath, perfect for storing my folders. The design complements my desk, which I found to be an ideal match. The assembly process was straightforward, and I managed to put it together myself. I highly recommend this product.

Neat and Square
Color: Black, Size: Square
This turned out to be durable and looks good on my valet table. The difference in the way it snaps to the sides, keeps the corners square and looks better than the other models that force the corners to extend outward.
