Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Would-be celebrity gardeners are emerging everywhere as gardening gains popularity. Among the latest is Matt James, known as The City Gardener, who humorously admits that his gardening space is limited to a small balcony. This reflects the essence of city gardening—making the most of minimal and often unwelcoming spaces. With the enthusiasm of a first-time author, James emphasizes that gardening should be about pleasure and encourages readers to discard traditional rules. The book is packed with advice on adapting awkward spaces, selecting and positioning plants, and concealing undesirable features. It concludes with profiles of plants well-suited for urban gardens. The design features a crowded layout and a somewhat difficult-to-read typeface, but the many photographs showcase James, often gardening (in someone else's garden) or appearing shyly at the camera. While the content may not be groundbreaking, urban gardeners will appreciate the energy and conviction with which it addresses their specific challenges.
