Any space bigger than a bottle can be used to create a garden. This London tennament had a basement flat twelve feet below the pavement and about 5 feet wide. Despite those limitations there was an exotic rock pool, obligatory ferns and phormiums and the London Lizard, the Camden Croc, or the Admiralty Arch Alligator.

Designing with Humour

• Are the bars on these windows to keep the residents in or the London wild life out
• A light touch when adding whimsy to a garden can add many a smile to the passer by
• New materials can be introduced like this fibre glass sculpture
• Painted pottery Gnomes are not to everyones taste but Gnomes need homes
• Bruce Lawton’s Zen garden design tool is a bit of a spoof
