Small gardens, and how to make the most of them

This practical gardening guide offers concise, room-by-room advice for making the most of small plots, covering layout, lawns, paths, beds, borders, and soil improvement. It discusses experimental approaches and colour schemes, highlights attractive yet overlooked plants, and gives instruction on conservatory and greenhouse management, rockeries, tool-shed organization, and rose cultivation. Pests and remedies, tree and shrub care, planting and watering techniques, and lists of suitable annuals, biennials, alpines, and fruit and vegetable choices for limited spaces are provided. The final chapters address window-box design and economical practices to maximize beauty and productivity in compact gardens.
