Críticas:

Small gardens are often hard to furnish with ideas gleaned from magazines and books: too large and out of proportion, not enough room or too bitty for such tiny gardens. Richard Bird and George Carter, both veteran gardening writers and designers, offer a solution in this revised edition of "Projects for Small Gardens". Attractively presented with internal spiral-bound, pull-out pages, they offer a total of 56 different, easy to achieve projects, all suitable for today's small gardens. Contemporary mixes with traditional, formal mingles with informal, and all are innovative and charming, giving ideas for every situation and covering all tastes. Modern wall cascades, Versailles tubs, a very impressive primula theatre, sweet chestnut hurdles, painted pots and raised scented windowboxes adorned with decorative lead, intermingle with planting schemes and hard-landscaping suggestions. Edible cultivation features strongly with the emphasis on herbs and container growing. All construction mediums are covered from woodworking, bricklaying and metalwork while general soil preparation and cultivation techniques are looked at too. All projects require only the minimum of experience and the majority should be easily accomplished by a novice. Each project is accompanied by an attractive photograph of the finished result whilst the interior foldouts contain detailed step-by-step instructions. An inspirational and achievable guide with projects to suit not only small gardens but larger ones too, adding an extra special dimension to a hard to plan for space.
