Palmer, Isabelle: - "Isabelle Palmer is the founder of The Balcony Gardener (www.thebalconygardener.com), an online company specialising in product ranges for small urban outdoor spaces - balconies, patios, containers and terraces. Isabelle grew up in Worcestershire, then studied at Chelsea College of Art and Design, before embarking on a degree in Economics and working in PR. She has always been a keen gardener and began by using her own balconies to create a little green oasis. Confident that others would want to do the same, she started her successful business. The author is based in West Hampstead, London."
