The Urban Gardener (RHS)

This is a guide for urbanites, city slickers, in-town dwellers how to design and make their outdoor home space in the city. It features 13 case studies to illustrate the content within, exploring creative use of space—no matter how little or big that may be. It explores building balconies and roof terraces that can be repurposed with plants, getting crafty and creative with yard space, and even making a basement into green space. It explores a variety of uses for these spaces from being utilitarian with produce gardens or purely decorative, but with all the benefits that living around plants brings. Along with the ideas and case studies, there are 13 projects with understandable step-by-step guides. The book contains plenty of detailed color photography to illustrate the projects and design ideas, making it a more enjoyable and accessible reading experience.
