The greening of our cities is a trend that has multiple benefits, aesthetic and economic, personal and societal. If you live in the city your own personal garden will be a place for relaxation, a place to get in touch with nature, and will likely, be small. Small Urban Gardens is a guide to current trends in contemporary urban garden design for small spaces. “Gardens that creep up facades, that nest on rooftops or squeeze into left-over spaces between adjoining walls or between a facade and the street. The contemporary gardens collected in this book are a cross-section of current trends, notable not only for their use of new materials and construction techniques, but above all for their single, shared characteristic: in every case, they are small urban gardens.”. Paperback, 192 pages, well illustrated, $9.74 at Amazon.
