Perfect Small Gardens: The Step-by-step Guide to Planning, Planting and Maintaining Your Garden

by Barbara Segall (Author), Barbara Segall (Author), Peter McHoy (Author), Stephanie Donaldson (Author)

Synopsis

As the popularity of gardening increases, the space available to the average gardener is getting smaller and smaller. The desire to achieve impressive results often conflicts with constraints of time and space, but there is no need for an attractive garden to be a large or labour intensive garden. This guide shows you how to make the most of a restricted area and create an environment for leisure and relaxation out of the most unpromising plot. Four sections - designing the garden, creating planting schemes, gardening practicalities and the good plant guide - take you through each stage of creating and maintaining a successful garden throughout the year.
