Urban Eden: Grow Delicious Fruit, Vegetables And Herbs In A Really Small Space

This inspirational, green-fingered guide to gardening in limited urban spaces is full of imaginative and practical advice.

Touching many current themes such as the origins and modification of our food, regeneration of the city, the increasing desire of people to live balanced and healthy lives, and the importance of the community, 'Urban Eden' will appeal to anyone living in a town or city.

Every aspect of urban gardening is explored, from making the most of a small space, whether it is a terrace or a roof garden, to dealing organically with aphids and slugs and disguising eyesores such as drainpipes and walls.

There are tips for every season and delicious recipes, such as chicken and roast potatoes with garlic, rosemary and tarragon, to make the most of your home-grown produce. There is also a plant directory, helping you to choose suitable plants for the city garden, such as strawberries, tomatoes or honeysuckle, and advising on how to cultivate them.

Packed with practical and original solutions, this book brings the Urban Eden experience within the reach of city dwellers.
