Small Garden Handbook, by Andrew Wilson, Firefly Books, 224 pages, $24.95
MAKING the most of the available space for your garden becomes even more important when you are dealing with a smaller area. But space doesn't have to be a restriction on creativity and growing a fabulous display.
Award-winning designer Andrew Wilson provides a concise look at maximizing your small garden.
Choosing 15 ways to improve each of the nine specific topics, he offers a great deal of information in each chapter.
Looking at designs, structures, boundaries, planting, upkeep and more, Wilson gives each topic a focus and finishes every one with a case study.
Filled with colour photographs that illustrate a wide variety of approaches, there is plenty of inspiration available just in looking at the pictures. Although the book's theme is for small gardens the principles that Wilson discusses can apply to areas of much bigger spaces just as well.
