Small Garden Design

By
Paul Bangay
Penguin Books Australia

Paul Bangay is renowned for the expansive and elegant gardens

with classical lines and symmetrical plantings that he has created in
Australia and all over the world. Yet gardens on this grand scale are
not accessible to everyone. With more of us living in apartments,
townhouses and terraces, our gardens are now being squeezed into
small spaces such as balconies, courtyards, lightwells or rooftops -
and this makes for challenging garden design.

In Small Garden Design, Paul applies his 25 years of experience

 with gardens of all sizes to reveal how best to structure, design and
choose plants for small spaces. Chapters on Balconies & Terraces,
Rooftops, Inner City, Lightwells and Courtyards are lavishly
illustrated with photos by Simon Griffiths and enhanced with lots of
practical tips on plant types, paving, irrigation, soil, outdoor dining,
lighting and making the space appear larger. In this accessible and
practical book, Paul shows us 'how to make the most of the small
space you have, and how to transform it into the paradise that we all
aspire to'.
