From Booklist:

Walls, windowsills, doorways, steps, corners, a terraced patio, a balcony--all can be adorned with plants that trail, climb, or spread from pots, troughs, and hanging baskets. The authors stress the importance of container planting, an essential element in gardening in small spaces. In a chapter on planting concepts, they give advice on creating seasonal displays, vertical planting, and instant effects, or displays. Donaldson and Berry give basic information on tools, containers, fertilizing, watering, propagating, staking, pruning, repairing and painting pots, and attaching hanging baskets. There are 300 color photographs and a directory of more than 100 of the best plants for small spaces. George Cohen
