Container Gardening for all Seasons: How to Plan, Plant and Grow Container Displays for Year Round Color
Reader''s Digest
From the editors of Reader's Digest For garden lovers who enjoy bright, fresh flowers in the spring; vibrant colors throughout the long, hot summer; the warm, sweet scent of autumn; decorative pots with evergreen and pinecones in the winter; container gardens are the ideal way to cultivate a small patch of paradise. With a little careful planning, gardeners of all levels can create exactly the mood they want with a container garden that not only fulfills their vision but also one that thrives in their particular garden environment and local climate--while keeping maintenance and expenses to a minimum. An Invaluable Plant Directory of Almost 200 Plants, Organized by Color and Season, Introduces Readers To "The Pick of Container Plants, " With Full-Color Photographs and a Detailed Description of the Height, Spread, Color, and Culture Requirements of Each Included is a month-by-month calendar guide to planting and maintaining a thriving container garden throughout the year. Chapters include Practicalities, Growing and Planting, Looking after Your Pots, Pests and Diseases, Greenhouses, Making and Decorating Pots, plus a special section showing 10 Inspirational Container Gardens. With imaginative ideas and practical considerations, learn the art of matching plants, pots, and location--whether it is the eye-catching profusion of old-fashioned blooms framing a cottage in the countryside, the stillness and harmony of an elegantly sparse oriental garden, or a planting of herbs and edible flowers that is at once decorative and practical. Container gardens are the ideal way to beautify a multitude of spaces--providing year-round pleasure. An inspiring guide to creating easy-to-maintain containergardens that bring color and fragrance to every season of the year.
