Small Garden Design Bible
If you have a small garden or even just a balcony or tiny yard space, Tim Newbury’s ‘Small Garden Design Bible’ might be just what you are looking for to create a stylish garden.
You might fancy a tropical balcony or city chic roof space, eco garden or water courtyard, but whatever your dreams for your garden space, Tim’s new book may well give you the inspiration and the answers to achieve your look.
With 40 stunning off-the-peg garden designs in the book, you will find great ideas and expert advice to help you transform your space with minimum fuss and effort. Each of the projects are fully illustrated and accompanied by a detailed planting plan and the step-by-step instructions for making the special features - from ponds to planters - is certainly one of the major strengths of the ‘Small Garden Design Bible’.
There is a design for just about every use including a Tropical paradise balcony; Easy-living garden; Family-friendly garden and split-level garden. There are also designs for a Scented sanctuary, eco-friendly garden, a Garden of illusion and a formal Herb Garden. Tim gives lists of the best plants for each design and also gives advice on what to include/avoid.
Tim Newbury runs his own successful design business and is author of several titles, including The Ultimate Garden Designer. He has won four RHS Gold Medals at Chelsea.
The book is clearly illustrated with each project having a good plan for you to follow. Tim also gives advice on why each particular project works, clear planting keys and general advice on a range of gardening topics.
