Reviews
These British books offer spectacular photographs showing delightful, creative arrangements of plants in a variety of containers. Donaldson (Plants for Small Spaces) suggests colors, container types, and plants to create ten different gardens, from Mediterranean to woodland to American country. Each chapter includes illustrated, easy-to-follow instructions for making containers like Proven?al painted pots or fernwork pots. Each chapter also profiles a group of plants suitable for growing in containers, e.g., miniature bulbs, scented plants, and ferns. More an idea book than a cultural how-to, this unique book stresses evoking specific moods. Writing for the beginner, gardeners Jackson and Hutchinson explain how to grow plants in containers, hanging baskets, and window boxes, offering more cultural information than Donaldson. Sprinkled throughout are photos of planted containers specifying the numbers and types of plants necessary to create each look. The authors end with "Top Plants," their recommendations of plants that grow well in containers. Written for a different climate than much of North America, these books contain little information on how to overwinter tender plants or grow bulbs. Gardening in Containers (Ortho, 1997) and Bill Marken's Container Gardening for Dummies (IDG, 1998) would be good choices for Northern or beginning container gardeners. However, these two titles are recommended for all gardeners looking for fresh ideas for their container gardens.ASue O'Brien, Downers Grove P.L., IL
