Urban Flowers Summary

Urban Flowers: Creating abundance in a small city garden by Carolyn Dunster

Creating colour and interest in a small urban garden by growing a range of flowers and other decorative plants brings with it many rewards. Carolyn Dunster shows you what to grow and how to use your own blooms, leaves and berries in a range of indoor displays and hand-tied bouquets. Locally-grown flowers in season is a significant and welcome trend in floristry, and just as eating a tasteless strawberry in December pricks our consciences, so too does purchasing a bouquet of tulips in September, however stunning they may be to look at. The most local, seasonal flowers, which are the most satisfying to give and to display, are the ones you have grown yourself. Carolyn Dunster shows you how to do this in the smallest of spaces.

"this book is ideal for anyone who has ever dreamed of nurturing a garden but simply doesn't have the space. The garden designer Carolyn Dunster offers hundreds of ideas for how to bring life and colour into even the most unprepossing of outdoor areas. Learn which plants will thrive in an urban environment; find out how to make the most effective use of space; experiment with colour; and make your floral scheme last longer by drying or cutting flowers." * Town & Country magazine *
"...crammed with fresh new ideas [and] infinite ways of growing flowers in the smallest of spaces, even if it's on a balcony, rooftop, windowsill or perhaps just a vertical wall. Carolyn's infectious enthusiasm for nurturing and growing plants is constantly woven through the pages of this book and can't fail to inspire city dwellers to buy seeds and plants to decorate their gardens with colour, form and scent. It's a reference guide to dip in and out of for years to come, that should help all urban gardeners realise the horticultural potential of their outside space."
