The ways of vines and roses
Article Abstract:
Urban gardens can present considerable challenges. People who live in urban environments often wish to have privacy from their neighbours, but planting a garden with very tall trees or building high walls can mean that the garden receives insufficient sunlight. It can also be hard to garden organically in a city, but it is important to try to enrich the soil, possibly by using pelleted chicken manure. In a small urban garden, it is important to be ruthless about plants, removing all those that fail to thrive.

Dreams of the perfect garden
Article Abstract:
There are many gardens open for charity in England and Wales over the Easter weekend. Visitors to these gardens can gain many useful ideas about how to tackle their own garden, even if their garden is much smaller than those they visit. It is clear from large gardens that thinking big can be extremely successful. Interesting gardens open to the public at Easter include the garden of the Manor House at Clifton Hampden, England, where Christopher Gibb has tastefully blended new and old elements.
