Keep your landlord happy and your garden in good shape with plenty of tips, tricks, and techniques for good garden maintenance, and discover ways of turning even the most unloved balcony, yard, or urban garden into a lush, welcoming space that you, your roommates, and your friends can enjoy for as long as you choose to live there.

About The Author

The youngest-ever curator of the Royal Horticultural Sosciety's Wisley gardens, Matthew Pottage has been fascinated with gardening all his life. He started at Wisley as a trainee before gaining a permanent position managing the woodland areas and then becoming garden manager. After only 12 years he was appointed curator, overseeing the entire gardens. An experienced renter himself – a recent piece in The Times described him as “the gardener for generation rent” – Matthew is full of inventive ideas to improve any outdoor space.
