Gardening in Small Spaces is a guide for gardeners who have limited outdoor space but want to make it meaningful and beautiful. Rachel de Thame addresses challenges such as limited room, awkward shapes, vertical space, and combining practicality with aesthetics.
 
She discusses a variety of garden types that can be adapted for small spaces: family gardens, “edible” gardens, tropical-style gardens, tranquil / contemplative gardens, rooftop gardens, and night-time gardens (gardens designed with lighting in mind).
