Create your own small garden with expert gardener Joe Swift. Green
spaces are the perfect antidote to fast city living. Learn how to
create your own small garden with expert gardener Joe Swift's
practical, easy-to-follow advice. From courtyards to rooftops,
transform awkward and unexciting spaces with inspirational ideas
and solutions. Whatever you want your green space to look like and
be used for, Joe's no-nonsense approach guides you through issues
such as privacy, boundaries and shade, to growing plants in areas
with little to no soil. The wider environmental benefits are
significant - helping to reduce pollution and minimise the heat
island effect (a result of the hardscape in towns and cities). The
plants will increase biodiversity, and many will be an important
year-round resource for wildlife. In this book, Joe covers a vast
range of exciting, impactful and innovative ways to stamp your
personality on your outdoor space. He demonstrates how to use
paving, boundaries, containers, furniture, water and sculpture to
help structure and define, and how to give the starring role to the
plants you choose to draw the seasons into our towns and cities.

From blue- green to purple and pink, flower-shaped to squat and
spiky or tall and fuzzy, the variety, versatility, and
low-maintenance care of succulents makes them go-to plants for home
gardeners. Here, succulent stylist Rachael Cohen shows that these
traits also make succulents the ideal material for living art.
Tiny, jewel-like succulents can be clipped and replanted in
infinite combinations, and unlike cut flowers, they thrive in these
arrangements. When planted in corks, they become charming living
magnets; when placed in seashells, they are a delightful reminder
of a day at the beach. Succulents can also grow nestled in moss,
creating an opportunity for even more creativity: arrange them atop
mini pumpkins or adorn a headband or a tiny wreath. In addition to
illustrated step-by-step instructions for more than a dozen crafts,
Cohen explains which succulents are best for each project, how to
clip and prepare rosettes and leaves, and what to do when the
plants outgrow their art pieces. Lush photographs throughout
capture the natural beauty of the plants and boundless range of
possible creations.
