I am abaout to embark on the creation of a new, very small garden. Does anyone know of a good book they could recommend. I envisage lots of pots and climbing things to hide the fences. Any suggestions?

There is a book called "Gardening in small spaces" (I think)... you would be better off going to the library and having a look...

A very good book is "what plant where"... you are going to need to know what your soil type is, which way the garden faces etc...

I also would find help from a local nursery rather than using a garden centre as they are much more knowledgable and helpful (I find)... although there are some rare exceptions...

Good luck
