Synopsis
With Photography by Marianne Majerus.
Matt James, 'the city gardener', shares his planting tips in this approachable, practical guide to making the most of an urban garden.
In The Urban Gardner garden designer, lecturer and broadcaster Matt James explores how to design an urban outdoor space, no matter the size or location - from balconies and roof terraces to courtyards, basement areas and front gardens, factoring in areas for relaxation, play and growing your own produce.
There are 16 step-by-step projects including creating a 'living' green wall, planting under mature trees and making a gravel garden and 13 case studies showing great design in action, with examples from Tom Stuart-Smith, Charlotte Rowe and Christopher Bradley-Hole.
Award-winning photographer Marianne Majerus provides the visual inspiration.
Published by The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS).
