20 Best Small Gardens [Paperback]

Tim Newbury (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1999

A small garden is perfect in a small yard, to highlight a particular spot such as an entryway, or to turn an eyesore into a place of beauty. Make the best possible use of a limited area with a choice of 20 different small garden styles that you can either adapt to an existing site or start from scratch. Look at the options: Family Garden, Color-themed Garden, Water Garden, Year-round Garden, Scented Garden, Foliage Garden, Courtyard Garden, Formal Garden, Natural Garden, or Modern Garden-- plus 10 more. Any of these styles can be tailored for either easy maintenance or as a place to spend time getting dirt under your fingernails.

I borrowed this book from the library and am planning to buy it to help me design my new backyard. I think it would even be good for large gardens because you could create several different garden spaces using multiple plans. I liked the mixture of photos with drawings and the detailed information on all the plants. Great book!
