Looking for ideas for some small gardens and outdoor spaces for some new homes I am building. This book offered very little support.

Standard spaces I might see set up at a garden show. Nothing spectacular.

I’ve searched in bookstores for appropriate books for a very small garden, to no avail. This book gives outstanding ideas for making a small space seem larger as well as more inviting. Of particular interest are the summaries (based upon the material reviewing each garden) as well as the “before” pictures that accompany the article (giving hope to those with bleak bare spaces). Also, there are drawings that show the overall concept for each garden, which provides a context for the individual photographs.
Highly recommended.

The title says it all. Amazing what you can do with such little space. Beautifully illustrated with before and after pictures, step by step explanations and level of complexity.
