Home Gardener's Small Gardens is the essential guide to improving a
small garden and turning the most modest-sized space into a stunning
outdoor area. It offers lushly illustrated strategies for making the
most of a confined space--whether backyard, terrace or courtyard. Get
started with an informative discussion of small garden types,
appropriate plants, problems and opportunities, design, and planning.
The excitement truly begins with a look at the wide variety of stylistic
options. The gardens range from Mediterranean to wildflower, secluded to
low-maintenance, container to balcony. And a plant directory covers it
all: summer-flowering annuals, herbaceous perennials, shrubs, small
trees, climbers, water plants, bamboos, culinary herbs, fruits,
vegetables, and even more. For a finishing touch, there's practical
information on garden construction, with step-by-step instructions for
making paths, patios and other garden structures.
