Royal Horticultural Society Small Garden Handbook: Making the Most of Your Outdoor Space

Book is full of tips that other books lack. My landscape loves it as I bought one for him

Muy bueno pero si fuera español sería más fácil de comprender

This is just what I was looking for with fantastic photos. I have a small city backyard and need ideas. Plenty here.

A useful, easy to read guide to help with my small garden design

Such a useful book. Didn't realize you could do so much with such a small spzce. Would recommend this book to all friends who have a small garden.

Excellent topics, content, layout and photography. Great design ideas . Highly recommended for small andMedium size gardens or individuals looking for ways to creatively make their outdoor space private.

Staying up late reading this wonder. I can see using this as a reference on garden design, plant advice and more for many years

Not for practical USA

Ideal present for those wanting to make the most of a small urban garden. Purchased as a present for my daughter who was very pleased with it. Great photos, very inspirational.

full of images and suggestions... Absolutely to have

Eigentlich hatte ich mir mehr versprochen. Natürlich, das buch fasst sehr solide alles, was bisher über kleine Gärten und deren design bekannt war, umfassend zusammen. Aber eben auch nicht mehr. Von Autoren der Royal Horticultural Society hatte ich dann doch mehr erwartet als einen allgemeinen Überblick.Das Buch ist auch in der Kindle-Version gut ausgestattet mit exzellenten Fotos. Deshalb auch 4 Sterne von mir, der Text selber hat eher nur drei verdient.

Amazing book, amazing photos. I only wish they book/photos were physically bigger.

I picked this up as inspiration for a garden design course I am taking and I am very pleased. It is full of excellent photographs and with lots of ideas for materials to use or new ways to use commonplace materials to give an edge to a garden. The author founded a garden design school and is a practising designer at the same time so the book is borne of experience.Overall, the design emphasis is more contemporary than traditional although there are examples or more traditional gardens and materials. The planting ideas are excellent and I like the fact that there are sections covering maintenance & garden housekeeping. There are chapters devoted to boundaries, water, planting & materials as well as more general introduction to the principles of garden design. Each chapter has a case study and there are tips on 'how to' achieve certain effects e.g. a Mediterranean garden, cottage garden.This is a very useful addition to the bookshelves for both students and those designing their own gardens who I think will benefit from the ideas that a practising garden designer can offer that might not occur to an amateur.
