Book Reviews of Pots in the Garden: Expert Design & Planting Techniques
Book Review: A great reference book for selecting the right plants and right pots for your garden
Summary: 5 Stars
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.

Summary of Pots in the Garden: Expert Design & Planting Techniques
No longer a technique just for apartment dwellers or novice gardeners, the use of ornamental containers on decks, patios, terraces, and in the garden itself can save time, space, and money, while offering experienced home gardeners unique creative challenges, site flexibility, and experimental fun. Author and award-winning horticulturist Ray Rogers takes you on an engaging exploration into basic design principles as well as how to create focal points, use water, exploit the potential of empty containers, and more. Stunning photographs by Richard Hartlage provide guidance and inspiration, as well as visually explaining each principle. Gardeners at every level of experience will find inspiration and instruction in this comprehensive book.Gardening & Horticulture Books
