Book excerpt: City dwellers often have ambitious plans for their outdoor spaces, which usually range from modest to tiny, for the invaluable respite they provide from the pressures of urban life. But a small garden-terrace, patio, balcony, deck, backyard, or courtyard-can present formidable design challenges. Andy Sturgeon's Big Plans, Small Gardens helps you make the most of your garden space, no matter how restrained the square footage. Through chapters devoted to assessing your needs and priorities, evaluating your space's limitations as well as the unique possibilities it affords, and selecting all the right design details-from lighting to furniture to the plantings themselves-Sturgeon shepherds your creation of an urban garden that's private, comfortable, accessible, and beautiful. Color photos and detailed case studies provide examples and strategies you can put to use as you remake your own precious piece of the outdoors.
