This work seeks to meet the reality of gardening in the very small spaces that most people have to work in. It shows how the restrictions imposed by space can be side-stepped and demonstrates what can really be achieved in restricted areas. Practical guidance is given on initial planning and choices and ways of exploiting the space, and suggestions are made for evoking a particular atmosphere. Over 30 illustrated planting schemes are included, as is a directory of 150 key plants for small spaces.
The formal garden is being reinvented to reflect the tastes and lifestyle of today's gardener. A dynamic new approach to gardening, "New Classic Gardens "explores how traditional formal design is being reinterpreted to suit today's small-scale outdoor spaces. Descriptive text, inspiring photographs, and garden plans cover everything from the ingredients of modern formality to creating gardens that require minimum maintenance. Experienced and first-time gardeners alike will welcome the exciting opportunity of stretching traditional classic order to create a new formality that is both dynamic and more individual.
