For a gardener with limited space, containers are the answer. They're simple — anyone can pop a plant into a pot and call it done. But with a little more know-how, the tiniest balcony can be reborn as a miniature paradise complete with lush foliage, changing colours and a tempting mix of edibles and ornamentals. Fern Richardson, award-winning writer of the popular blog Life on the Balcony, spills her secrets in Small-Space Container Gardens. She includes all the basics, how to choose potting soil, the proper way to pot — and her very best design tips. Readers learn to assess and work with the space they have, to customise containers with their own unique plant combinations, and to choose and arrange multiple containers to create a welcoming retreat. Packed with beautiful photography, first-class plant information and innovative design inspiration, this is a container gardening book that thinks big in small spaces.
