Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Container gardening has grown up! No longer a technique just for apartment dwellers or novice gardeners, the use of ornamental containers on decks, patios, terraces, and in the garden itself can save time, space, and money. More importantly, it offers experienced home gardeners unique creative challenges, site flexibility, and experimental fun. In fact, it's no exaggeration to say that attractive, well-planted containers are an essential component of today's gardens. Pots in the Garden: Expert Design and Planting Techniques presents a fresh approach to container planting and design. Author and award-winning horticultuist Ray Rogers doesn't simply provide a finite number of recipes for specific planting combinations. Rather, he takes you on an engaging exploration into basic design principles, including how to use color, form and mass, texture, line and repetition, and spacing and siting, as well as how to create focal points, use water, exploit the potential of empty containers, and more. Rogers arms you with the knowledge to pick out and design your own plantings with confidance. Instead of falling back on familiar choices such as petunias, ivy-leaved geraniums, and trailing vinca in the window box, choose distinctive pots and develop planting combinations more suited to your garden's specific conditions, local climate, andyour own personal style. Stunning photographs by Richard Hartlage provide guidance and inspiration, as well as help visually explain each principle. You don't have to be a professional designer or artist to understand this book. Pots in the Garden simply reflects one long-time gardener's accumulated thoughts on and experiences with container gardening and the basic principles behind good garden design.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Container gardening is ideally suited to today's lifestyles--it provides the excitement, versatility, and variety of in-the-ground gardening to those with limited space, time, and resources. But in order to make the most of container gardening, aspiring gardeners--whether rank beginners or seasoned veterans--need to know precisely which plants perform best in containers; just as importantly, they need to know how to grow them well. Author Ray Rogers is the ideal guide to this world of colorful possibilities. An award-winning container gardener and horticulturist, he profiles more than 500 outstanding plants in 180 genera. Along with Rogers's engaging descriptions, the entries include each plant's height and spread; light, moisture, temperature, and soil requirements; ease and rate of growth; principal interest and design attributes; potential problems; and best method of propagation. To this abundance of useful information, Rob Cardillo's stunning photographs add a wealth of visual inspiration. Success with container gardening isn't always instantly achieved--it's easy to be seduced by brightly flowering plants at a nursery or garden center that turn out to be unsuited to the growing conditions provided for them, or that make poor companions for their pot-mates. Even a brief dip into this authoritative reference, however, is sure to yield a host of plants that will show just how spectacular a well-grown--and carefully chosen--container garden can be.…
