Isabelle Palmer set up her internet company the balcony gardener when she found it difficult to buy appropriate products and plants for her tiny urban balcony garden. She has now written a book to inspire others to have a go even if they have never grown anything before and have no more than a windowbox. The Balcony Gardener (£12.95 Cico Books) is available on her website along with lots of stylish gardening products.
What great idea – I remember when I used to live in a flat – I could have done with this book back then! But I can imagine is being so useful for many people.
Small space gardening is a great idea for utilizing what you have for what you need. I thought that you would like our Urban Agriculture in DC Infographic. There’s a section with tips for growing container success that make it easy to get started.
