As soon as the first frost hits here I am planning for next
year’s plantings. Small- Space Container Gardens
has already helped me start planning for our spring porch and deck. No matter what your available space, this
book has something for you.
The first few chapters set the scene by choosing colors,
containers settings, and location. Following
that there is information on attracting wildlife and growing food plants in
containers. There is a section on
succulents and scents, and a chapter on privacy planting. You can learn to
create a vertical garden, and battle pests. There is even a green thumb crash
course. This is just a brief summary of
what is in this information packed book.
The book helps with ideas for designing not just individual
pots but, an entire patio or porch.
There is something for the spacious areas for those who live in the
country as well as those who have limited space in the city. Large or small, there are planting ideas for
all.
There are several projects for inexpensive pot upgrades and
very unique ideas using thrift shop or found items. My favorite project was the
beautiful garden table that would be so simple to create with only a few
materials.
Timber Press provided
a review copy of this book in return for an honest and fair review.
I provide a
link to purchase the book, but it is only as a courtesy and I
receive no compensation if purchased.
