Publisher's Note This detailed encyclopedia spans the world of container gardening, not only in terms of the vast array of different plants featured, but also in the diversity of projects presented. This book does not restrict itself to purely decorative plants: there are sections on raising a wide variety of herbs, fruits, and vegetables in containers ranging from tubs to baskets, as well as advice on topiary and making water features. Additional chapters focus on choosing the right container for a particular space and show how you can make attractive containers at home yourself.
