The Book of Plans for Small Gardens by Andrew Wilson
As good design is the key to a successful garden, this book has collected together some of the best of today' s structural garden plans, providing practical solutions for smaller gardens in both town and country. After an introduction that gives specific advise on the advantages and restrictions of designing a garden for a smaller space and how problems can be resolved, the book features some 150 structural garden plans divided into thematic chapters. The plans include those for problem sites, such as small, narrow, shaded or sloping gardens, as well as key garden features such as steps, decking, boundaries, water features, lighting, and ornaments, together with key planting.
