The greening of the brownfields to make the cities more sustainable are the major challenges, which the book covers. The concepts of drainage, greenways, streetscaping, micro-gardening, xeriscaping,

urban farming and play environment have been explained in detail. The book also covers nursery, horticulture, planting design and symbolic language of flowers.
