We’re excited and fortunate to be hosting Paul Zammit again!
You may be thinking of scaling back an existing mature garden or embarking on new gardening adventures in a small townhouse garden – or even on a condo balcony. Either way, there are ways to make the most of your small garden space. Paul Zammit brings his trademark energy, passion and deep knowledge to the OHS this month with tips, tricks and design concepts you can use to maximize the impact of your small-space garden.
