It's not unusual for a gardener's dreams to be much bigger than one's yard: Bringing yourself back to earth can become a problem. This volume puts everything into sharp focus, a camera lens zooming in on the tiniest detail. Each plant becomes a portrait, and the amazing detail offers all the tips you need to manage your small garden effectively--even a plot without soil. You'll find helpful hints and gorgeous pictorial advice on container planting on rooftops; gardens in outdoor rooms, focusing on porches and patios; and luxuries usually found only in larger sites, like plots for vegetable and herbs, rock and water gardens. A full source listing and scores of sidebars suggest trees, fragrant plants, ready-made garden plans and much more. So, whether a mailbox area, a door path or garden gate, this guide to a world of secret spaces makes nearly every spot a prospect for gardening showmanship.Davis, Becke is the author of 'Small Gardens: Inspired Plantings for Diminutive Spaces - Becke Davis - Paperback' with ISBN 9781586630133 and ISBN 158663013X.
