The essential book for every London gardener. Elspeth Thompson offers a wealth of inspiring ideas, together with detailed practical instructions, for gardening in the city - in window boxes, on balconies and roof terraces, in allotments and community gardens - or how about a bit of guerrilla gardening? She then takes the reader on a tour of London gardens, from Mayfair to Canary Wharf. A helpful directory of nurseries, garden centres, shops and markets completes the book.
