Media Reviews

With today's ever shrinking gardens it becomes more and more important to have the right plants growing in them. They must earn their keep too by offering something special in each season - flowers, foliage, berries, ornamental stems. They must not outgrow their allocated space and, in our busy world, be easy to cultivate and look after. Gardening writer and journalist Sue Fisher recognises all these and offers a comprehensive and inspirational guide to a range of plants for every type of small garden, be it a town or country garden. Lavishly illustrated, it is a visual feast of ideas for both novices and more experienced gardeners alike. Knowledgeably written, Sue offers design and cultivation advice to ensure you get the best from your small green oasis. Accompanied by colour planting plans for a variety of sites, she encompasses every aspect of gardening in a small space - how to make it appear bigger, how to make it more secret, how to conceal neighbouring eyesores and much more. An easy to read, informative book for gardeners of today. - Lucy Watson
