Gardening Articles by Russell Fransham

I have been writing articles on gardening, landscaping and plants for many years. Below are a few of the articles, which have appeared in Alfresco magazine (www.alfresco.co.nz) which is a glossy quarterly with a fresh and offbeat approach to the house and garden theme. It is aimed at the adventurous gardener and is put together by a young couple who have started it from home and it's a sensational success. I also write for Scene Magazine a monthly Whangarei Lifestyle publication.
