A city dweller with only a window ledge can still raise a garden. Frances Bardswell shows how, from the humble window-box to balconies, roofs, and back-yard plots, even bringing green to the crowded quarters of the poor. A cheerful, resourceful guide to gardening without a garden. Grow flowers wherever you live, however small your patch of sky.

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.
