Pocket Gardens: Big Ideas for Small Spaces

by James Grayson Trulove

Book Overview

The first book in a new series, Pocket Gardens provides design solutions from professional landscape architects for small garden spaces. Landscaped looks that may have seemed possible only in large areas can be achieved on a small terrace or patio, a roof or townhouse garden, or on a small lot -- and this book shows readers how. Each garden features a "big idea" -- the design solution that makes that garden special.

Customer Reviews

Small Gardens - but by American Standards!

This is a wonderful book - and useful too, since it contains garden plans for each garden featured. Living in the Netherlands, we found that the definition of "small" according to this book does not apply to some of the really (!) small gardens here. Yet, we can adapt the plans, adopt just a few of the design solutions, or consider the sometimes unusual materials applied. Definitely worthwhile, if only for the beautiful photography.
