Here is a step-by-step planning sequence for a small-space garden. The first chapter outlines how to analyse your space - what you have in your garden already, what to keep and what to introduce, from furniture and lighting to walls and paths.

The second chapter moves on to planning and how to maximise the space by using dividers, paths, walls and raised areas.

The final two chapters look at materials and planting strategy.

Recommended reading for inner-city gardeners.
