Inspiring....
Spent an hour flicking through the gardening section in my local Borders store trying to find ideas and advice for the bare patch of soil that is our new garden. This book was by far the most inspiring - lovely photos complementing great ideas, information and advice. The problem now is that I have too many ideas and too small a garden!

Great book
A truly fabulous book! Covers all you need to know if you have a small space - garden/rooftops/basements etc. Lots of ideas on design and planting and all achievable.. Lovely photos - can't put it down!

Excellent
Absolutely excellent book with lots of great ideas, really well presented and good visuals. My second John Brookes book, and probably won't be my last...
