About This Book

A practical handbook offering concise, illustrated guidance for cultivating flowers and foliage in towns and small suburbs. It covers creating and caring for window-boxes, hanging baskets, balconies, roof and back-yard gardens, and small suburban plots; selecting plants that endure smoke and fog; and making economical schemes for working-class and school gardens. Chapters supply step-by-step instructions for beginners, plant lists, seasonal planting and combination ideas, tips on watering, cleaning and placement, and notes on arranging flowers and suburban garden etiquette. Practical case studies and photographs demonstrate solutions for limited space and polluted urban conditions.
