Gardening coming to a rooftop near you!

I don't live in a city with a rooftop such as the cover page image (which is very nice), but I do love anything that deals with gardening so I decided to take a look at this book. Even though I don't have a building top to start my new garden, I do have limited space and this book covers a lot of information regarding space management and how to efficiently raise your beloved plant friends. 

The book was very informative in all aspects even if I knew I would not be doing all of this on a rooftop I knew it would be applicable to other types of gardening. The book reviews lots of information that I never even expected (such as light exposure!) and also things that I needed to know such as irrigation methods. I was intrigued by the section that explained how to build your own subirrigated container to grow vertically growing plants! Although I won't be using all this new found knowledge, I will definitely be putting some of it to good use. The book even identified common pests that may plague your garden (darn you aphids!).

All the pictures and drawn images are beautiful and straight forward, making the book even more enjoyable. Overall, I think this book would be a great resource for people who wants to grow a garden in a concrete jungle. If you don't live somewhere that would make you consider growing a rooftop garden, you can still learn a thing or two about gardening efficiently.

I have received this book from Blogging for Books for my honest review.
