More and more people are attracted to the idea of growing their own produce, realising the benefits of home-grown food and the delights (and fiscal benefits) of kitchen gardening. But how can you achieve this when all you have is a tiny garden or a roof terrace? "Urban Eden" provides you with the answers, including pest control, when and where to plant, how to make compost and how to cook the produce you grow. An urban eden also keeps you in tune with the seasons, encourages wildlife and a more sustainable way of living. And your garden doesn't have to look less desirable - green beans make beautiful climbers, herb pots are a fashion statement and who can resist a leafy fig tree offering figs for dessert? As you savour your first home-grown artichokes in spring or make a home-made tarte tatin in late autumn, you will find that gardening has never felt so satisfying.
