This guide to making and maintaining a stylish, contemporary outdoor living space covers every area of gardening, from deciding on a design and drawing up detailed plans, to creating and planting the garden of your dreams.

Whether you have a tiny suburban plot, a rooftop patio, or a weed-ridden courtyard, you should find inspiration and advice here.

With ever-expanding towns and cities, more and more houses are being built to accommodate the ever-burdgeoning populationBut the downside is the lack of green spaces, making the tiniest garden that much more precious to escape to. But what can you do with such a small plot? The initial inclination is to pave it and add a few pots but this timely book from the "Sunday Times" goes to prove a LOT more can be done to create your own oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of city life. From hiding unsightly views to basic design, planting and cultivation, water features and rockeries, and not forgetting the vertical aspects either with trellis, planters, pergolas and more. Clearly laid out, well-written and with plenty of tips, ideas and inspiration, this book goes a long way to dispelling the myth that you can't do much with a small garden. Cool, clean, contemporary looks enveloping plant tastes across the spectrum ensure a modern take on the traditional ideal for today's living. - Lucy Watson
