No matter how small your gardening space, you can enjoy the pleasures of growing plants outdoors with The No-Garden Gardener. Discover how easy it is to turn cramped areas and window ledges into delightful gardens alive with color and fragrance.

Firstly, it's seems very British for some reason. Second, it goes in to pages and pages and pages of assessing your situation, whether you are a blind gardener, "the importance of design", and then gets into water gardens and water features, and raised beds. Suffice it to say that it didn't seem much geared toward the apartment owner with a 7x10 foot balcony!

This is probably not a book for more experienced gardeners. The writing on the design aspect of the non-garden seems common sense (and it is), but the book is a real treasure for the beginning gardener. This is because it includes basic guides on such diverse topics as: plant biology, planting (from rock gardens to hanging plants), caring for the plant, propagation and pest control. Guides to planting and plant maintenance include diagrams and step-by-step instruction for easy use. The book's best feature though is its lovely photography; the photos are intended to inspire the reader with ideas about the design of their no-garden garden.
