Roof Gardens, Balconies & Terraces provides inspiration and practical information for creating "outdoor rooms" - places of calm and tranquility in which to relax, gardens that cleverly provide a link to the horizon beyond, or simply bold splashes of color to brighten the view. Practical issues are fully detailed from the beginning - from laying flooring to building planters and trellises - followed by planting advice on soil depth, lightweight composts, growing trees, and suggestions on using plant color to achieve specific effects. Tips on maintenance, and choosing accessories such as garden furniture, statuary, water features, and lighting complete this indispensable guide.
