[.ca] Pots in the Garden: Expert Designand Planting Techniques (ISBN 0881928348)

A great reference book for selecting the right plants and right pots for your garden:
Container plantings are ideal for projects with limited planting areas. I have used pots in landscaping for multiple-million-dollar homes, churches, and sites where deep-root plantings are not feasible. The key of container plantings is to choose not only the right plants, but also the right pots for the right locations. "Pots in the Garden: Expert Design and Planting" is a great reference book for selecting the right plants and right pots for your garden. It includes 3 parts. Part One is about element of design (color, line and repetition, form and mass, space and placement, texture, focal points and the appeal of emptiness); Part Two discusses "bring it all together," including designs that work, other sensory elements, expert container techniques, and choosing a pot; Part Three explores plant groups for containers, including annuals, aquatics, bulbs, cacti and other succulents, climbers and trailers, perennials, tropicals, and trees and shrubs. "Pots in the Garden: Expert Design and Planting" has 248 pages and 240 interior color photos. It is a great reference book for selecting the right plants and right pots for your garden.
