Since cities were first settled, urban dwellers have created gardens on their doorsteps, cultivating beauty and gaining delight from their efforts, however small the landscape. Urban Flowers explores the many ways in which you can bring colour and interest to a small city garden, whatever its location and whatever your taste.
Garden designer Carolyn Dunster demonstrates hundreds of ways to make your outdoor space bloom. By using her colour-themed planting recipes, her charming projects, and a palette of reliable urban plants, you can turn the least promising corner into a thriving habitat for plants and wildlife.
Carolyn Dunster is an award-winning planting designer, florist and urban gardener. After a career in journalism she trained in floristry with Jane Packer and now runs her business from her home in north London. She has written for several lifestyle magazines and exhibits regularly at garden shows and festivals around the UK. In 2016 Carolyn designed a small cutting garden at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show on behalf of Katie’s Lymphoedema Fund, which won the People’s Choice Award. This is her first book. www.urban-flowers.co.uk
