In Pots for all Seasons, gardening guru Tom Harris offers ideas for a wide range of fresh and unusual container plantings, and shows you exactly how to create them. He shows 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), 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.
