Refreshingly really does deal with gardening in small (more often than not) urban spaces - and for onace presented with an awareness of how "small" a small garden in an urban area like London can be.

Takes a different approach in that the book is presented in sections about: choice, illusion, atmosphere and a guide to plants suitable for small gardens. Lots of snapshots of parts of gardens providing good ideas which can be adapted.

Practicalities section gives some small garden plans and lists of plants for special purposes. (
