Discovering Your Garden

You see a wonderful garden on TV, at the Chelsea flower show, or at your neighbours' house, but how do you go about recreating it in your own back yard?

About the Book

In Ann-Marie Powell's Plans for Small Gardens, the Chelsea gold medal winner lists out all the gardening ingredients, as well explaining how to actually create and maintain your garden. This is a book that starts from scratch to allow even gardening novices to build their perfect patch.

Getting Started

Choose your recipe – shady, courtyard, family, or edible; collect your ingredients – turf, slabs, containers and plants; and follow the simple method to put the garden together.

Resources and Maintenance

Detailed planting and construction plans, colour photographs and a handy practical section at the back of the book ensure you have all the resources you need, while year-by-year maintenance guides guarantee that your garden will continue to flourish for years to come.
