Customer Reviews

Love this Book

I have had this book for many years. I consult it so frequently that the pages are falling apart. I love the fact that each garden shows what is possible when space and other elements are "challenging." There is enough variety in the landscape to cover a wide number of situations. Because of this book, I made up my mind that I would always get gardening books from Rizzoli. I used to get gardening books from Timber Press, but was so frustrated by the writing, which wasn't very good. Every time I look at GREAT GARDENS IN SMALL SPACES, I find yet more details (yes, even in the photographs) which escaped me before. The book is about idiosyncracy and imagination. I love it. It freed me from thinking only one way about gardens. I also appreciate that the gardens are all in California, where I live. I often buy gardening books and am frustrated because only a handful of examples end up being from California gardens...
