Roof gardens are in the main an urban phenomenon, where even a few square yards of greenery are prized. They are generally small to tiny in size and share particular problems where exposure to wind and sun require planting and maintenance regimes. This book tackles the average flat roof garden concentrating on the inspirational approach, rather than the engineering requirements. It is divided into two sections: one on style (for example cottage garden, classical and eastern influence) and a shorter one on practicalities (such as privacy, safety and irrigation). Both parts are well illustrated with a good selection of photographs, and the concise text offers useful comments, hints and plant information. Most of the pictures represent gardens created by experts and are packed with ideas. It is aimed at the design conscious roof-gardener with some experience and aspirations to move onward, but many of the solutions apply in a general way to any small garden. (Kirkus UK)
