In fact, research suggests that UK gardens now average 12m x 12m for those under 45 years old and whilst 77% of adults have a garden, 20% of those are a terrace, patio or balcony.
We will show you some of the best solutions to enable you to grow thriving plants and vegetables whatever the size of your garden sanctuary.
