From the Inside Flap

The Perfect Mix

Container gardening is rewarding and easy, even for those with limited space and time. All you have to do is choose a container and one of Nancy Ondra's creative five-plant themes.

You might be drawn to a favorite color, like elegant white or soft blue. Or you might be looking for something just right for a sunny balcony or that shady spot on the deck. Perhaps you dream of creating a haven for hummingbirds or a banquet for butterflies, a night-blooming wonder or a fragrant container of herbs for tea. In every case, Ondra has a beautiful combination of just the right five plants for any season, situation, or taste.

Container Theme Gardens - expected more Color and Flowers to be used

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2016

Verified Purchase

I thought there would be more information about mixing colors using flowers. I did not find the combinations that interesting or any I would want to use. I was looking more for use of flowers (annuals) for that pop of color always needed on porches, window boxes, patios, etc.
However, it does give good points as to where to use the perennials, explanation of each plant used and close up picture, what size container was used to achieve the look; gives dimensions.

If you looking for guidance on Plant ( not Flower) containers, this is your book.

Practical and Beautiful

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2016

This book is brimming with marvelous design, from the containers themselves to the lovely colors and layouts of each page.The plant palette pages are beautiful and include photographs and descriptions of each plant and alternate suggestions.
The book has a great deal of practical information as well as creative container ideas, two of my favorites are 'A Mini Meadow' and 'Living Perfume'.
With 42 inspiring combinations to choose from, you are sure to find several (if not all!) that are suitable for your location and garden style.

I checked this book out from the library and then decided I needed to buy my own copy! Great pictures and ideas for pulling together beautiful container ideas. So many different styles and each one is described in detail. I can't wait to try some this spring.

Love the book

Lots of pictures and helpful ideas and information. Fast shipping. Book was in great condition.

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

I didn't find the pictures of the container gardens very appealing. Maybe they are just not my cup of tea. The book lists the specific plants used, but also gives suggestions for alternate plants, which is good because it is difficult to find exact varieties. However, I found the book not worth keeping.

I just loved this book

I just loved this book. Forty two ways to put together a planter using easy to find plants at reasonable cost with alternatives just in case you cannot find her main suggestion. Her best book yet in my opinion and one that will take the guesswork out of making a stunning planter.
