With Window-box Allotment as your guide you can make your outdoor space, however tiny, equally prolific. And as you learn how to do it you will be endlessly entertained.

If you're inspired by the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, but have limited space for gardening, a new book by local resident Penelope Bennett might help.
Witty as well as informative.
Further proof that a glorious array of fresh food can be grown in the tiniest of spaces, with enough room left over for a pint-sized garden pond.
Packed with practical information for the small-space urban gardener, but is much more than a manual. It's a thoroughly good read, whatever the size of your garden
If you're sceptical about how much fruit and veg you can really grow in a tiny space then her book, Window-box Allotment, is sure to change your mind
