Thomasina Taring provides tried and tested design ideas and reliable plant suggestions that will turn a tiny space, whether it is a shady basement, an elevated roof garden or a narrow passageway, into a verdant haven. She explains how to create visual interest using focal points, changes of level, trelliswork, mirrors, lighting, colour and imaginative use of the vertical dimension. She provides guidance on using tricks of perspective, false arches and doorways and trompe l'oeil effects, and hints on caring for plants in confined or shady areas. Also included are eight projects, including a kitchen-sink garden, a Japanese garden and an exotic roof garden, with easy instructions and full-colour illustrations.
