  A small garden may seem like a limitation at first, but it actually offers an exciting opportunity to get creative and intentional. Every inch matters. Every plant, surface, and design choice contributes to the overall feel of the space. Whether your goal is to grow fresh herbs, create a private outdoor retreat, or simply bring more greenery into your life, smart design can help transform even the tiniest patch of land—or balcony—into something truly special. 
  In this book, we’ll explore practical design principles tailored for small spaces. You’ll learn how to analyze your environment, choose plants that thrive in limited areas, and use vertical and layered techniques to expand your garden’s potential. We'll also explore clever solutions for storage, lighting, seating, and more—ensuring your garden isn’t just beautiful, but also highly functional. 
  More than just a how-to guide, this book is also an invitation to rethink what a garden can be. From urban rooftops to narrow side yards, small-space gardening challenges us to make thoughtful, sustainable choices. It encourages us to slow down, observe nature more closely, and develop a deeper connection to the spaces we inhabit—however modest they may be.

  Our interest in the simple but satisfying art of whittling has never been higher. Our Danish-inspired book on whittling (snitte in Danish) has a range of wonderful simple whittling projects for the home.
