Synopsis
Taking a new approach to containers for "real gardeners," Container Gardening features more imaginative plants than most books on the subject and looks at the latest designs and new materials for containers. Offering practical advice on planting and year-round maintenance, as well as looking at inspirational ideas for today's more style-conscious gardener, the emphasis is always on the plants themselves with expert practical advice on how to grow and maintain them through the year.

About the Author
Paul Williams, an experienced and imaginative gardener, trained at one of the UK's top horticultural colleges, and went on to be Head Gardener of a large garden and estate in the Cotswolds. He communicates his extensive knowledge with enthusiasm and passion; his most recent book, Digging Deeper, demystifies the science of gardening by explaining just what goes on under the soil and inside the plant.
From Publishers Weekly
For would-be gardeners with thin pocketbooks or limited outdoor space, this book is a delightful guide to raising plants in pots. Like skillful flower arranging, container planting starts with an artistic vision of complementary colors, shapes and textures. British gardener Williams’s volume blossoms with striking creations, but he also shares practical advice on recreating the "container portraits" pictured. Like a chef, Williams lists necessary "ingredients," and offers detailed instructions on plant care and container size, shape and material for each of the 44 displays. Williams (The Garden Color Book; Digging Deeper) also covers critical gardening principles for picking healthy plants, rich potting mixtures and attractive containers. For readers who want to experiment beyond his arrangements, Williams provides a detailed directory of 300 plants that thrive in containers, including staples like impatiens and begonias, as well as unusual suspects like the soft, silver-leafed plectranthus argentatus, which he calls "a textural delight." The full-color photos are also sure to inspire.
