INTRODUCTION
"Green: Simple Ideas for Small Outdoor Spaces" by Ula Maria is an inspiring and practical guide for transforming limited outdoor areas into beautiful, functional sanctuaries. Designed especially for urban dwellers, renters, or anyone with small terraces, balconies, courtyards, or roof gardens, the book shows how even the tightest space can become a place of refuge and joy.
Ula Maria combines creative design principles with botanical know-how, illustrating how to work with scale, colour, texture, and light to make a garden feel like an extension of the home. The book showcases 22 small but innovative garden designs—each one unique—using containers, reclaimed timber, evergreen and flowering plants, grasses, and foliage selected for low maintenance. Simple furniture, lighting, and affordable decorative elements are used to enhance outdoor comfort without demanding large structural changes.
The value of "Green" lies in its blend of visual inspiration and actionable tips for everyday gardeners. With vivid photography, she helps readers see possibilities for their own tiny outdoor spaces, encouraging mindfulness of environment, plants suitable for urban settings, and affordable transformations. Suitable for gardening novices as much as design lovers, this book offers both the spark and the roadmap to create a serene, stylish outdoor retreat.
