The gardens of Britain's National Trust are world-renowned for their beauty and diversity, forming one of the world's most important collection of plants. Here, ten of the Trust's head gardeners offer professional advice to container gardeners, including "recipes" for hanging baskets, hints on planting containers and taking cuttings, and advice on how to make the most of the natural microclimates in a garden.

From the Publisher

Every year, the National Trust gardens are thronged with visitors who come to admire such horticultural wonders as the hanging baskets at Tatton Park in Cheshire or the colorful potted displays at Overbeckes in Devon. Wandering through the grounds of Powis Castle in Wales, one can only speculate on the practicalities of watering all those containers; or at Ickworth, how they achieve a lush Mediterranean sanctuary in the harsh winter climate of Suffolk. Horticulturist Sue Spielberg has interviewed ten of the National Trust�s head gardeners, distilling their vast experience into a clear, practical text. The book is filled with tips from the professionals, including �recipes� for hanging baskets, hints on planting containers and taking cuttings, and advice on how to make the most of the natural microclimates in a garden.
