5.0 out of 5 stars The Very Best Container Garden Book on the Market, February 26, 2008
By Marjorie VanderKruik (St. James City, FL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Bravo Pamela Crawford, you have done it again by giving us yet another brilliant book on gardening. Easy Container Gardens is the step by step instructions of not only putting together a container garden, but also explains just how pick out the right plants for that perfect container. She not only covers the basics, like container (color, size and shape) but also covers pruning, fertilizing, watering, insects, troubleshooting, the lifespan we can expect from the garden, where and how to display the new garden and so much more.

With today's working Moms, container gardening is now the way to go, but getting headed in the right direction to have it work for you is another. Ms. Crawford has covered all the angles and made this task a simple, effortless and a fun thing to do.

There are many container gardening books on the market today (I know, because I probably have read every one of them) this one is "head and shoulder" over them all, with the exception of Ms. Crawford's Container Gardens for Florida which is an excellent reference book. With Easy Container Gardens tucked tightly under your arm, you are ready to head off to the local pottery store to shop for that ideal container. When that is accomplished it is off to the local nursery for the soil and plants. With all this in hand it is time to head home and start creating that dazzling container garden that you have been dreaming about. When people ask where you purchased the lovely container garden, you can say with pride, "it was nothing, I did it myself" and said with a big smile of accomplishment on your part and some help from Pamela Crawford's Easy Container Gardens book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Visual walk through container gardens, March 12, 2008
By S.W. "GA green thumb" (Gilmer County, GA) - See all my reviews
Living in Georgia and loving gardening and I am transitioning into container gardening !
"Easy Container Gardens" explain, educate and walk you through textures, colors, and color combinations of plants to recipes of success for containers. My reaction to the cover photo is "I can do that," showing complimentary plant blooms. There is a lengthy chapter on container basics. And another chapter on "Best Container Plants" sums up the Blue ribbon winners and container successes. The color photos are just beautiful and an inspiration to be creative with plants.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to follow, lots of photos, May 21, 2008
By Golf Chick (Atlanta) - See all my reviews
This book is great. When I use a garden book, I like photos and this one is loaded with them. It is also simple to follow and has great advice for new container gardeners or veterans. I adapted some of the ideas to a garden bed as well and they look great.
