  Australia has a diverse range of climates, established under any of these conditions, even in desert, and barren areas, in bogs, rocks and in coastal gale.
  The vocations of the people who build these (extreme) garden landscapes are of garden designers, horticulturalists, landscape gardeners, plantsmen (or plantswomen) and their garden designs are a popular feature of contemporary culture.
  There is an extensive range of publications which feature garden designs and designers (over 5000 books just on garden design), and this popularity has led to the rise of celebrity gardeners, who use their print, radio and TV shows to bring garden designs to every household.
  A specialist Australian Garden Design Study Group has formed and actively promotes garden heritage.
  Touring Australian and overseas gardens is a notable tourist trend.
  Top Garden design trends include the proliferation of garden clubs, sustainability, waterwise, xeriscaping and the Australian plant garden, or bush garden.
  These heritage gardens are noted as either, being publicly open to visitors, or (normally) more private, and open only at limited times, usually for a fee payable upon entry.
  Many more notable Australian gardens are available to visit than these listed here, usually through the Open Gardens schemes. The Index to Australian Open Gardens will be a Wikipedia page too (650 gardens).
