Kevin Walsh
Adult Non-Fiction Author
Kevin Walsh is best known as an expert on waterwise gardening and for his best selling book Waterwise Gardening which has been in print since 1993 (first published by Reed Books as Water-saving Gardening) in a number of different editions. Learn how to drought proof your garden with the fourth edition of this classic published in September 2009 by New Holland. This new and updated edition has many colour photographs, easy to follow text and diagrams so that you can pick up some handy hints, contemplate changes to your garden's layout, or get into the finer points of setting up a tank and using grey water.
Kevin lives in Castlemaine with his wife and two children. He was a finalist in the 2006 Savewater Awards in the "Individual Action" category, for his contribution to the education of home gardeners and horticultural professionals on waterwise gardening. He has a Graduate Diploma in Applied Science (Horticulture) from the VCAH Burnley, as well as a Trade Certificate in Horticulture and a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in writing.
Kevin’s second book with Reed, Quick Fix Gardening, was released in 1995 along with the second edition of Water-saving Gardening. Kevin has written articles for The Age newspaper in Melbourne where he has also answered correspondents’ gardening questions through the ‘Readers Questions’ column for almost ten years. He is a regular contributor of gardening articles to various newspapers and magazines such as Your Garden and is occasionally heard doing Gardener’s Talkback on ABC regional radio, filling in when Rosemary Davies is away. For eight years he has had a weekly gardeners' talkback session on ABC regional radio heard throughout central and northwestern Victoria and parts of eastern South Australia. He is also heard regularly on Melbourne's 3CR gardening program. His work experience has been broad and covers most aspects of horticulture at a professional level. He has worked at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne and oversaw the rejuvenation of the historic Malmsbury Botanic Gardens. Kevin has also undertaken a large number of designs for commercial, public and private spaces, and reports for state and local government and consultation for schools, horticultural enterprises, historic gardens and private individuals.
Kevin has worked as a garden designer and consultant planning and advising on gardens throughout Victoria. He is also a lecturer in sustainable gardening. Described by some as 'Australia's leading waterwise gardening expert', he is most sought after for his expertise in this highly topical and critically important field. He has been an adviser and educator for many water authorities, and has lectured throughout Victoria, as well as interstate and overseas.
