In Container Gardening, a fresh update of a Sunset Books classic, you'll learn that where the containers go is as important as what goes in the containers. Large photos illustrate the concept of "landscaping" with potted containers; step-by-step directions show how to create containers with maximum visual impact. Container Gardening also describes the best plants for certain container situations, such as compact fruits and herbs for an edible garden on a balcony, or night-blooming flowers for a romantic evening garden. Focusing on areas typically used for planted containers—rooftops, courtyards, and decks—it guides you through the challenges of each and explores new ways to push creative potential.
