Hanging baskets, window-boxes, raised beds and arches: these are just a few of the many ways in which plants can be grown to fill the vertical dimension. And, when space is at a premium, the only way to make more of your garden is to go up, or down. This beautiful and original gardening book shows how: it is packed with over 100 stunning, creative displays contributed by the author and a team of top professional gardeners and growers. The photographs have been specifically taken by garden photographer John Glover.
