How to Win at Patios and Small Gardens (How to win at gardening) - Hardcover

Reseña del editor

This guide is aimed at those who may only have a small garden area, but who wish to make the most of it - whether a small garden, patio, terrace or alleyway. It provides ideas for creating a range of gardens to suit readers' space, style and needs. It explains how to plant and maintain a garden or patio that will provide colour and interest throughout the year. Using colour photographs and practical step-by-steps, its emphasis is on the rewards and pleasures of gardening, and how to get impressive results quickly and easily. The book's down-to-earth and deliberately non-technical approach should appeal to the majority of gardeners, especially those who have limited time and need a little encouragement to get into gardening.
