With clear step-by-step instructions, The Complete Guide to Container Gardening is the essential guide to successful gardening in containers, both outside and in. It assumes little or no previous gardening experience and guarantees to be a source of fresh inspiration for the experienced gardener. Traditional favorites are included in abundance, but there are also projects that use more innovative materials and ideas, including simple celebrations of a single flower type, exuberantly bright medleys, baskets of heady scented blooms, luxurious evergreens and ferns, pots for winter cheer, edible displays, herb baskets, and much, much more.

The book also gives advice on choosing containers, and is full of ideas for adapting unusual planters, from watering cans and bath tubs to chimney pots and baskets, as well as great suggestions for decorating terracotta pots. The displays cater for all tastes and the stunning photographs of the finished displays are a source of inspiration.
