Packed full of great ideas to brighten up your balcony, roof terrace
or window sill, The Balcony Gardener will teach you everything you
need to know to create a stunning outdoor space.
The Balcony Gardener covers everything from the fundamentals of
starting a new garden, to picking out the best accessories to suit your
style and your space. The first chapter, The Basics, will guide you
through planning, designing, and the basic elements of gardening so that
you can create a terrace or balcony that most suits you. The next
chapter, Urban Spaces, goes into much more detail about the best plants
to use in smaller environments, highlighting those flora that would be
better adapted to life in an urban setting. Then, move on to the chapter
entitled Creative Recycling, which provides all sorts of great ideas for
recycled containers and beautiful features in your yard--make a Pallet
Wall Planter or Olive Oil Drum to liven up your space. There is even a
chapter for All Things Edible, allowing you to customize your yard to
not only look delightful, but smell and taste fantastic too. Finally,
Enjoying Your Balcony offers some great advice about what type of
furnishings would best suit your balcony, patio, terrace, or small yard.
Complete with a journal section, a plant list, a glossary, and
comprehensive resources list, The Balcony Gardener is a must-have book
for any green-thumbed city-dweller.
