New Small Garden explores a multitude of contemporary design ideas alongside proven small-space planting principles in the first serious study for a generation. Author Noel Kingsbury sets out to retrain the eyes of the small-garden owner so that they can adapt and improve their space.
Noel begins by addressing the issues of inherited space, showing how to assess your garden and how to make it multifunctional. In 'Layering with Plants' and 'Plants for Small Gardens' he shows how, by imitating natural planting and using the best plants, you can create exciting plant communities that provide interest at all times of year. He offers fresh solutions for walls and adding height in 'Vertical Planting', and explores new ways to display plants and ensure long-term success in 'Containers for Small Plots'.
Chapters on 'Sustainability' and 'Wildlife' show how a lack of space does not limit our ability to embrace biodiversity, recycle materials and produce rain-sensitive designs while providing food, habitats and breeding grounds for wildlife.
New Small Garden contains more than 450 insightful photographs by leading lifestyle photographer Maayke de Ridder including six whole-garden case studies illustrating the design and planting principles behind successful small gardens.
The changes needed to maximize the potential of small gardens are often not large or time-consuming, and with Noel's guiding principles, planting and practice you can make those changes with ease. Vissza
