Ultimate Book of Small Gardens

By Graham Rice

Book Overview

From an internationally famous writer on horticulture comes the bible on cultivating small gardens. This reference tackles all the problems faced by those whose big ideas keep colliding with the reality of limited space. It provides a master class on design, hard landscaping, choosing essential plants, growing fruits and vegetables, combating pests and diseases, and other common difficulties. Work with a new garden or transform an existing one; learn fresh techniques for improving and fertilizing the soil; plant with a "garden theme"; and use the illustrated directory to choose the best trees, shrubs, and flowers--all to create your own miniature Eden.

Lots of original and practical ideas

This book is full of ideas for small gardens while keeping in mind the practical considerations this lack of space entails. I especially appreciated the section where the author defines the various types of small gardens.
