The Art of Balcony Gardening is aimed directly at the many thousands of balcony and upper terrace owners looking for ideas and inspiration on how to make the most of this high-rise hybrid. For part house, part garden, the balcony may be limited in size but never in scope. With ideas for all tastes and budgets, this will also be very much an international book, covering every style, size and location from U.S. seaboard or sultry Mediterranean villa, to the inner city apartment and London dockland development. As well as discussing architectural attractions and practical limitations of balconies, there are a wealth of top quality colour photographs from all over the world, supported by an informative text, exploring the stylish possibilities of this outdoor room. The Art of Balcony Gardening shows how to create a certain look, reveal the wide range of plants that can be grown and look at ways the balcony can be successfully used as an alfresco extension of the home.
