The Small Garden Planner

This book is written from a British perspective and it typically envisions a space to work with that is relatively small, confined, and possibly abused in the past; such as you typically find attached to a terraced (i.e., row) house in London or elsewhere in the UK. As such it is really inspirational for urban gardeners in the US who have a similar space to work with. All garden plans are accompanied by photographs and diagrams, and all plants are identified by common and taxonomic names; you can pick and choose from the various designs offered. The book gave me heaps of ideas when I had exhausted my small stock.

What more could a gardener want than a gardening book packed with pictures and informtion on what the plants are and how to use them.As the title suggests, it also has illustrations on layouts which compliment the beautiful photographs and plant listings.I'll keep coming back to this one because I know I'll see something different every time I look at it.
