This is the first book on container gardening which covers everything from A to Z thatis connected with container gardening. Whether you are a novice or have a lifetime of gardening behind you, this is the book to purchase. Nowhere will you get more for your money than with this publication. Small or large spaces, new or used containers, old reliable or more modern plants, everything is covered. There is even a section that walks you through on how to make your own containers. Whether you have lots of time to pamper your “garden” or can only spend minutes at a time, trust me, there is nothing better on the market.

Until I read this book I never dreamed that there were so many creative ways to set up portable plant features for every area of the home. Especially good is the section on water features complete with plants and fish. The step-by-step instructions are as easy to follow as connecting the dots but the results will bring a lot more compliments like, “However did you do that?” Inside, outside, shady or sunny, this book has me believing that we can be successful with plants anywhere.

I specifically wanted this book to help me with my vegetable container garden. There’s a very SMALL section about tomatoes, eggplants, and strawberries that wasn’t much help. Other than that, the book is beautiful. If I was striving for a gorgeous flower container garden, I’d definitley buy this book.
