A small plot is no excuse for a dull garden. Violet Purton Biddle shows how to arrange a modest space, decode the terms gardeners use, and make every foot of ground earn its keep. Practical, encouraging, and full of workable ideas. Perfect for the city dweller with more ambition than acreage. Start where you stand.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
