I Love Container Gardening

This book starts with the basic techniques: sowing seeds, choosing containers, watering, etc. It gets more in-depth with the care of houseplants, troubleshooting plant problems and how to do plant division. The plant guide includes a variety like cyclamen, dracina, monstera, asparagus fern and gardenias. There are sample planter combinations shown and the reader is told how to achieve that look. The samples include an herb garden container, one with winter colors, wild strawberries, cottage gardens, and a medley of pinks. Great variety, so I rate the book with 5 stars.

Excellent Resource for Balcony Gardens

Living in an apartment with only a balcony limits what one can grow. This book has beautiful ideas for such conditions and it is really well put together. The step by step instructions with pictures are excellent. Great book!

The complete guide to container gardening.

This is a great book for people interested in obtaining a great looking garden without being an expert. The use of photography and the step by step instructions make this book very easy to follow.Not being a gardener myself I find that this book makes me want to give it a try. If I can do anybody can. Buy the book you won't be disappointed.
