This guide is aimed at both the gardener looking for features and points of interest to liven up a dull terrace or an open lawn and at the gardener whose space and resources are much more limited. Ornamental containers, carefully chosen for shape, size and colour, and equally carefully planted, can even make a garden where none exists at all - on paths, steps, balconies, in hanging baskets, window boxes and decorated wheelbarrows parked by the front door. In this practical and illustrated handbook, the author shows how to put all sorts of containers to good use, what composts to use, how to look after and water your plantings and, of course, what to plant. Summer and winter subjects are covered along with fruit, vegetables and herbs for containers, and the plant list includes horticultural and propagating information.
