The Container Specialist: The Essential Guide to Planting in Containers and Designing, Improving, and Maintaining Container Gardens Book

Containers are a perfect solution for every garden, and here is everything a gardener needs to know to make the most of those attractive urns, troughs, tubs, hanging baskets, window boxes and wall pots. This amply illustrated guide simply covers it all, from the basics of which container to choose to advice on seasonal displays, from creating an herb garden to adding a water feature. It explains how to get started; which plants work best in a container (including a range of bedding plants, shrubs, dwarfs, conifers, climbers, and fruit); and how to use containers in lobbies, on porches and patios to soften their appearance, or to form a point of interest at the end of a path.
