Pretty pics, but that's about all,
By Huffy Tarking "huffytarking" (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Container Gardening (Southern Living Garden Guides) (Paperback)
Don't bother buying this book unless the intended recipient is a novice at container-gardening. As a reference book, it falls way short. For example, the "bulbs" chapter lists just 11 selections, "shrubs" 17, few with pictures. (The "pretty pics" in my title refer to photos of finished gardens and patios. Nice, but you can find that in any old shelter magazine.) In fact, there are dozens if not hundreds of plants that will grow happily in containers...if you give them the right conditions. The prose, too, reminds me of a magazine: cheerful and generic. This pretty book might encourage someone to try container gardening, but they'd sure want a more practical guide before long.
