A treasure for the container gardener

Full of specifics on how to plant, what to plant, where to plant, and how to maintain plant containers. Packed with visual examples of successful plant combinations, with full botanical names, so you can recreate them. The many aspects of successful arrangements are discussed, so you can substitute with confidence. A pleasure to read and an inspiration for each season. A book you will want to keep as a reference.

A "must have" in any gardener list

Gorgeous full-color pictures, drawings and illustrations in every page. An abundance of containers shapes and sizes, and even a section on matching containers and plants. Although the author's idea of small garden is much larger than what I have, her instructions can be adapted to all size gardens. This book cover every area you can think of and even some more unusual ones, like topiary. The index lists each plant with its hardiness zone. It is definitely part of my "must have" book list.
