To be viewed more as a source for inspiration than a practical guide, Courtyard and Terrace Gardens offers a wealth of ideas for the smaller gardens found today. With gardens shrinking in size, especially in cities to make way for more housing, it has often become a more practical solution to forgo green lawns and herbaceous borders in favour of something more stylish and easier to maintain. But getting a patio to look right can be hard. A style has to be selected - chic, rustic, contemporary or avant-garde; hard-landscaping materials and furniture have to be chosen with care and sympathetic to the surroundings; and what plants to grow to enhance the whole? Joan Clifton gives a comprehensive overview of all these dilemmas and, lavishly illustrated with the photographs of Steven Wooster, offers a selection of options open to personal interpretation and style. She guides the reader through the vast array of current choices, giving clear design advice for even the most ignorant gardener. - Lucy Watson
