For city dwellers, even a small front garden can be a huge selling point when buying a house. A small garden of any stature can be a blessing and provide sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of daily life - or at the moment, from the tedium of lockdown. Whether it's just big enough for a table and chairs surrounded by a few outdoor plant pots, or you have space to plant a kitchen garden or flowerbed, there are plenty of ways to maximise your urban jungle. Why not learn how to make a compost heap and grow some fruit and vegetables at home? Even those without a proper garden might be able to carve out a little green space on a roof terrace or balcony for some pretty plant pots, (and there are even garden design apps out there to help you plan. From lush planting to the best decking ideas, seating areas and pretty planters, our gallery of city gardens has you covered.
