With this selection of 12 inspirational designs--all showcasing full-color photographs of blueprints, plant directories, and structural features--city gardeners can make the most of their precious and limited outdoor space. Choose from lovely options for creating an urban oasis that's perfect for entertaining, child's play, or cultivating plants. Enjoy a cozy courtyard decorated with tables, chairs, and benches, plenty of greenery, and a wall for privacy. A modern Alpine garden beautifully links the house and its exterior through carefully coordinated materials, and includes a lawn, path, and contemporary furniture. Or try a Secret Urban Jungle, Sundial Garden, Mediterranean Haven, or any of the other beautiful ideas.
