Here is Don Watson's lively story of starting at the nursery as a devil-may-care teenager, eventually buying and nurturing it into the success it is today. Along the way are vivid tales of growing up in Ōtaki, of having fun and making a bob among a cast of colourful characters, not least Don's rough-diamond father. There's hunting, fishing, diving and shell-collecting, and that's just before breakfast. There have been hard times too, but Don's humour, energy and down-to-earth attitude have ensured he's still going strong, well into his 80s, with a spring in his step and a twinkle in his eye\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll books are sent with free courier postage within New Zealand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51153049157879,"sku":null,"price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7687\/5255\/files\/IMG_3134_12086820-024c-4bba-a05c-6f137282ff5f.jpg?v=1789182854","url":"https:\/\/phoenixbooksnz.com\/en-us\/products\/the-nurseryman-of-otaki-by-don-watson-signed-by-author","provider":"Phoenix Books NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
