About this title

From the Publisher:

Growing plants in containers is one of the most versatile and pleasurable of all gardening practices, and because the displays are temporary, gardeners can experiment with plant arrangements and color schemes from season to season. Hanging Baskets is a marvelous source of ideas for planting combinations and color schemes to brighten even the dreariest walls and outdoor spaces. Exploring the vast palette of colors and textures now available to gardeners, it shows how to create baskets and containers of a rich variety of styles and materials. Detailed advice on the basics of creating hanging displays is followed by a guide to basic color combinations and 35 seasonal projects. A section on care explains what to do if a container display runs into trouble, and the book includes a detailed illustrated directory to the very best plants for the job. For those looking to enhance their home and garden using relatively simple and inexpensive gardening techniques, Hanging Baskets is a superb source of guidance and inspiration for lavish displays throughout the year. Jenny Hendy is the author of Quick and Easy Topiary and Green Sculpture, Zen in Your Garden, The Gardener’s Palette, and New Perennials.
