In this fresh and enchanting book, Evelyn Hadden invites you to use your gardening power to convert your "hellstrip"--the space between the street and the sidewalk--into a rewarding garden that generates smiles and celebrates nature. And you don't need to stop there: if you have some unused ground outside the fence, down the steps, or beside the driveway, you can turn it into a pocket garden bursting with beauty and character.

You'll gain inspiration from twelve dazzling curbside gardens from coast to coast, discover what you need to know before jumping in, learn how to actually create your hellstrip garden, and become acquainted with 108 plants especially suited to curbside conditions.

With just one small curbside garden, you can make your yard and neighborhood more fragrant, more lively, more peaceful, more interesting, more earth friendly, and more beautiful.
