Who better to turn to for everything you need to know about container culture than a guy who has been there, done that for a careerful of years?
Joseph F. Williamson, Former Garden Editor and Managing Editor, Sunset Magazine



While historical reports of container gardening go back thousands of years, over the last half-century, this unique form of husbandry has blossomed into a pastime enjoyed by hobbyists worldwide. Millions have discovered the immense satisfaction to be found in growing something beautiful, in creating interesting combinations of plants, experimenting with new plants, and getting to know plants more intimately than they ever could with plants in the ground.



Written by leading gardening journalist Bill Marken and the experts of the National Gardening Association, Container Gardening For Dummies is the ultimate guide to cultivating charming gardens in everything from a redwood window box to a hanging basket to an old pair of cowboy boots. It fills you in on how to:

  • Create a one-of-a-kind garden using classic and offbeat containers


  • Use the best fertilizing and watering techniques for your climate


  • Grow exotic and low-maintenance cacti and succulents


  • Prevent insects, pests, and diseases from invading your containers




Featuring clear, concise, step-by-step instructions and sixteen pages of stunning color photos, Container Gardening For Dummies covers all the bases, including:





  • Opportunities and limitations of different climates


  • Ready-made versus homemade soil mixes, starting plants from seeds, and other fundamentals


  • Choosing, planting and caring for flowers, ferns, succulents, fruits, and vegetables
