I first discovered this author when I got her book on Growing Bulbs in Containers: http://www.amazon.com/Growing-Bulbs-Containers-Weekend-Gardener-ebook/dp/B00IT4RB9W . I absolutely loved that book, so was also really excited about getting this book on flowers in containers. I was not disappointed in the least.Once again, this book provides reliable, practical advice, dotted with gorgeous, inspiring photos. I particularly loved the section on composition. I think all too often gardening books overlook the importance of actually designing the composition of potted plants. Gloria made this really easy by talking about various options and how to achieve these effects.Having said that, there was another section I loved even more. In fact, I’m now excited about my next project, which has been inspired by this book: my very own container rock garden! I have absolutely no idea why I’ve never thought of this before, but now I’m armed with all the information I need to go ahead and make it happen.I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in gardening. Complete newbies and seasoned gardeners alike are both bound to find something fantastic in this book. I know I will also be on the lookout for any other books released by this author as well.
