The Compact Garden: Discovering the Pleasures of Planting in a Small Space

I was re-reading my copy of this book, which I have had for six years. What a great garden book - wonderful advice for compact gardens and also tips and philosophies you can apply to larger areas too. But what is delightful is the author's wit. I was given the book as a gift, and at first glance it looks like a regular ol' Sunset style how-to garden book. But read the text. Brian Fawcett is quite witty as he details past successes and disasters of his own and his friends gardens, and you will get a taste of his progressive philosophies particularly when it comes to urban gardening, and just what it means to be a gardener. I am not sure if this book is even in print or not but boy do I recommend it!
