Even the smallest patch of garden can be transformed into a green oasis. No matter whether you own a pocket-handkerchief-sized garden, a tiny, perhaps irregularly shaped, plot or a paved courtyard, this guide will provide all the help you require for the successful designing and planning of a small garden. Problems that may be hardly noticeable in a larger garden show up instantly in a small garden - for example, planning mistakes and the wrong choice of plants.
This book offers expert sensible advice on how to tackle important decisions and there are also step-by-step illustrations showing you how to plan and build paths, steps, walls, fences, garden nooks, pergolas and ponds in small gardens. You will also find enchanting ideas for attractive designs using plants. The illustrations cover all the practical tasks you may wish to try, while glorious colour photographs prove that it is not at all difficult to turn a small garden into a veritable paradise.
