Container Gardening: Design Ideas for Rooftops, Balconies, Terraces, and More

In this all-new edition of a Sunset classic, where the containers go is as important as what goes in the containers. Large photos illustrate the concept of "landscaping" with potted containers; step-by-step directions show how to create containers with maximum visual impact. The book also describes the best plants for certain container situations, such as compact fruits and herbs for an edible garden on a balcony, or night-blooming flowers for a romantic evening garden. Focusing on areas typically used for planted containers—rooftops, courtyards, and decks—it guides readers through the challenges of each and explores new ways to push creative potential.
