Posted on GoodReads. This delightful book has lots of ideas for small gardens, patios, balconies; basically any spot where a plant can be placed. There are some good ideas to customize your pots with a little DIY work and ideas to add color and style to any space. Changing the flooring with paint, decking materials, etc. is a great idea for a city balcony. Color, lighting, and customization ideas abound to make anyone's boring space a lovely garden to enjoy with others or alone. Practical advice for climatic challenges like sun, wind, snow, etc. are extremely useful for year-round pleasure. The potager garden design is an excellent example of growing edibles and ornamentals together in a small area. The author covers vertical gardens, privacy, and sound along with sight and scent - there is appeal for all of the senses. This is a must purchase for libraries with gardening collections.
