Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Even for someone who is rather proud of their arrangement of hanging baskets and tubs, this book is a great read. As with all Dr Hessayon's books the illustrations and clear instructions are what first appeal, but in this case the real bonus is the enormous fund of ideas it offers, all in coloured photographs. From car tyres to wooden troughs--if you can grow a plant in it, it's in here! A huge variety of containers are suggested for all kinds of situations, from a flat with no garden to a mansion with terraces. Full information for planting is given for flowering bulbs, annuals, perennials and trees, shrubs and bonsai, photographed in an ambitious variety of containers and locations. In addition to the ornamental garden there is a great section of container-grown fruit, vegetables and herbs--particularly valuable for the gardener cook with a limited space.
All in all this is a delightful and handy book which really inspires you to make container growing a feature of every garden and available space, 12 months of the year. An excellent quick reference title for your bookshelf and one appropriate and appealing to gardeners of all standards. --T W Falinska

Has good ideas for container designs.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book has lots of ideas for containers, both for sunny and shady areas. Lots of pictures, lots of info on plants with color picture. I had picked up a unusual plant at a local nursey but did not really know anything about the plant and this book had a picture of the plant and care instructions for it. Has info on potting mix for window boxes, hanging planters,and containers, examples of window box designs and instructions, also examples of planted hanging baskets and window boxes, and containers.
