Gardening For Roof Terraces & Balconies

Roof terraces and balconies are oases in the urbane landscape. A viewing platform, a theatre set, a place of retreat... the roof garden fulfills many needs in the city. The book shows how to create a stylish and unique rooftop space, whether for entertaining, sunbathing or simply admiring the view.

Michele Osbourne, an acclaimed garden designer, celebrates the elevated garden, showing that there is little to beat the rooftop for experiencing an exhilarating sense of space and light and for enjoying panoramic views of the city skyline. She describes a range of possible styles and themes for a roof terrace or balcony with inspirational ideas for formal and informal designs, spaces for entertaining, Mediterranean and country-style settings, contemplative spaces and modern showcases.

This lavishly illustrated book is ideal for anyone setting out to design a roof terrace or balcony garden, or looking for new and exciting ideas to transform an existing rooftop space.
