So many “small garden” books seem to be filled with ideas that only work if you have an unlimited budget or an exotic locale that just happens to be on the small side. This book contains ideas that the everyday suburban gardener can easily incorporate. It’s easy to read, and contains many step-by-step instructions. The photos are gorgeous, but it isn’t just a coffee-table book of photos, it has real information in it. The only reason it didn’t get five stars from me is because the author is from England, and some of the gardening tips don’t work in the Texas heat. At the same time, I was surprised at how many plants we do have in common, and because it’s well written, I can extrapolate and apply the principals to local plants. Definitely worth getting this book if you have limited space and want a realistic and enjoyable garden.
