Description
Whether you have a roof terrace, a tiny balcony or just a window sill, there’s no excuse not to get gardening.
The Container Gardening Handbook shows just how easy it is to get started in the garden – and how to make the most of every little space.
This is the perfect book for novice gardeners who may have mastered the art of indoor plants and are ready to take it outside. The chapters include the basics, how to make a garden in a day, weekend projects, one-pot wonders, window boxes, and finishing touches. It features over 20 projects with a mix of small gardens, singular containers, and window boxes, all of which are stylish and easy to manage.
Isabelle also offers advice on how to upgrade store-bought containers with a lick of paint, transforming the look of your plants.
With clear step-by-step instructions and advice on which plants suit your space, as well as how to care for them, this is an accessible book for anyone looking to start their own small garden.
