Container plantings bring all the glories of a full-fledged garden bed to the most intimate and unexpected places, from a window box in bloom to an urn of sculptural ferns and foliage tucked into the corner of a patio. Presented as a series of recipes, similar to a cookbook, and created by Lana Williams, whose training as a fine artist makes her keenly attuned to the interplay of color and texture, the book features 57 projects, each one a beautifully designed garden in miniature. The recipe includes step-by-step instructions, along with stunning photos showing where and how to place each plant. Also included is foundational information on potting techniques, plant care, and choosing the right container, as well as plant spotlights featuring foolproof options for all climates and seasons.
