— The Avant Gardener

By presenting examples of innovative designs from both private and communal inner-city gardens all over the world, this book invites urban gardeners everywhere to create an inspiring outdoor haven even in very limited spaces.

Examples include low maintenance minimalist gardens, family-friendly havens, gardens with soothing water features, roof terraces and balcony retreats, and indoor-outdoor rooms. Designs and practical tips are given to create each of these different garden styles.
