Malcolm Hillier draws on his immense creative energy to present a dazzling array of design ideas that prove container displays can be exciting and invaluable sources of garden color in every season. Calendar of Projects: The highly practical introduction surveys the full range of pots available, and sets down design guidelines for mixing pot and plant colors, textures and shapes. The heart of the book is a lavishly illustrated catalogue of planting projects for every type of container and every month of the year. Each page reveals a close-up color photograph of a planting scheme, supported by practical tips on growing needs, plant quantities, and pot size. Site Suggestions: Photo-essays explore how different garden locations, such as flights of steps or entrance porches - can be enhanced with container displays. Combined with the planting projects, these present a diversity of creative garden ideas that puts Malcolm Hillier in a class of his own.
