About this title

Synopsis

A striking and practical guide to a popular and fast-growing area of gardening. Container gardening takes landscape design from the ground to patios, terraces, rooftops, and balconies. The author discusses such topics as lightweight artificial soils, controlled release fertilizers, synthetic water-holding products, and a wide variety of plants well suited for containers.

Wilson is known to millions as the host of Victory Garden South on public television's The Victory Garden. 75 full-color photographs.

Reviews

A popular alternative for gardeners lacking land is to grow plants in pots and boxes. Lightweight artificial soils and soluble fertilizers now make this practice easier. Wilson, who hosted Victory Garden South on PBS, covers this subject well. Topics discussed include selecting and making containers; using container plants in landscapes and limited spaces; making artificial soils; and caring for the special needs of plants grown in confined spaces. He describes his favorite choices for container gardening and includes flowers, vegetables, herbs, vines, cacti, and trees. A number of regional recommendations are given by horticulturists around the country. This book is similar in scope to Samuel Beckett's The Contained Garden ( LJ 3/1/83). Libraries needing another book on this subject should purchase.
