You are bidding on a new hard cover book with dust cover called POTTED GARDENS : A Fresh Approach to Container Gardening , ISBN-10: 0517704579 by Rebecca Cole . This is 8" x 9" with 191 pages from 1997 . Using any container , from the bed of a toy truck to a bedpan and any kind of plant , from rose to weed , would-be gardeners can follow Rebecca's guidance and plant a bit of beauty in a corner of their homes or gardens. Starting at the beginning . what a garden means to urban dwellers and their country cousins and how to stimulate your own imagination . she then helps us hunt for plants at neighborhood nurseries and markets (which she advocates over catalog shopping); gather containers from dumps, attics, flea markets, and antiques stores; and put it all together in potted gardens for windowsill, desk, and patio. In a chapter on terraces, she turns to the great outdoors, explaining the design and creation of complete gardens made up of containers, artfully arranged to make the most of small spaces. And all along the way she shares her own experiences with breaking all the rules to achieve ebullient flowering displays.
With nearly 200 spectacular photographs, illustrated step-by-step instructions on how to plant in wooden boxes, metal containers, and how to plant bulbs; tips on maintaining a finished potted garden; suggestions on further reading; and a glossary , this book is the everyday companion for the new and experienced container gardener alike. This is in excellent condition .
