IN the most
unlikely places, a
piece of tran-
quility can be
discovered.

Asmall baleony or
an enclosed court-
vard can be trans-
formed with the right
plants and furniture to create a personal par-
adise. Urban garden designer Rebecca Cole
takes us on a journey to some marvelous cre-
ations that celebrate the notion of making the
best of your surroundings.

For the most part, these are gardens set in

relegated to. Cole discuss-
es a step-by-step approach
to these city green zones,
starting with the “bones,”

which are the large plants
or tress, then moving on
to the furnishings and
smaller plantings.

The stunning photographs
by Helen Norman let us
see how beautiful these
spaces can become.

The message here is that if

you have the desire, you
can create a beautiful spot
for yourself to enjoy in the
most unlikely — places.
Everyone’s lives can benefit from the brilliance
of a summer Hower, whether it grows ina pot
ona rooftop garden or in a huge bed of a large
estate. A little planning, a proper selection of
plants and some loving care will go a long way
towards finding your own piece of paradise.
