This guide to successful gardening in containers, outside and inside, assumes little or no gardening experience. Projects are presented with step-by-step photographs and the techniques are clearly explained, including advice on selecting plants to suit the location as well as general care and maintenance. There are ideas for unusual planters and materials - from edible displays and herb baskets to water cans and chimney pots as containers - but also traditional favourites such as hanging baskets or window boxes.
