couldn't be happier with this purchase

I am looking for ideas about container gardening for my minuscule patio ... this book is perfect ... beautiful photos of plants in containers, how to's and a index of plants, plus zone info ... sort of a Sunset Western Garden book, but just for container gardening. It is from Reader's Digest. It is a hard cover book in excellent shape ... and for under $10 (inc ship and tax). Very happy with it.

Joyce gives instructions for decorating planters and choosing soil mixes, watering, pruning, propogating and winterizing. Much of the book is devoted to particular plantings ? directions for alpine gardens,...

It does emphasize ornemental plantings, but it really does offer a well-rounded approach to container gardening. It has lots of eye-candy to boot! Who can beat that? The best of both worlds, informational, and artistic.My only complaint is that it does not always say what the light requirements for the plants presented,...

Great addition....

Charleston South Carolina is a beautiful place, but the thing I like the best about that little city is the gardens. Every garden has containers, and every house seemed to have window boxes or containers on porches. The British also seem to have a penchant for growing plants in containers. The alleys that lie behind the houses in Royal Tunbridge Wells are loaded with potted plants.It you are a potted plant fancier like...
