In Pots for All Seasons, gardening guru Bob Purnell offers ideas for a wide range of fresh and unusual container plantings, and shows you exactly how to create them, how to combine pots to make a container garden, and how to rearrange and replace them so that the display is always lively and appealing.

He covers every aspect, including:

Collecting pots: the different types and styles of pots, their advantages and disadvantages, and how to choose between them.

What to grow: the plants, divided into those that play a permanent role and temporary visitors.

Making pictures: how to arrange and compose pots to show them off at their best.

A gallery of inspiration: page after page of glorious container plantings, some themed (e.g., seaside, woodland), some simply a celebration of the season, all displaying the freshness and relaxed charm that makes them different.

Planting for success: how to plant up your pots and maintain the plantings so they are always in top condition.
