Book Description

With a patio, porch, or windowsill, gardeners can grow almost anything anywhere using containers. Arrangements in this guide begin simply, with one type of plant in a decorative container. The projects move on to combinations of two plants, then on to more complex pots involving three or more plants—some of the arrangements are even meant to go from container to garden plot. Design principles including color, texture, height, and depth are considered, and ideas for themed containers are included for holidays and other festive occasions. Species range from the tried-and-true garden varieties, such as impatiens and petunias, to newer plants on the market, such as a striking red ornamental millet. The planter plans include detailed photographs, diagrams, and instructions on getting the very best results from container gardening, for lasting natural beauty in any space.

A thinly-veiled marketing tool for Ball Horticultural plants.......2007-06-03

Don't be fooled--this book is a marketing ploy for Ball Horticultural trademarked plants, from the glowing overview of Ball in the Acknowledgements to the Ball varieties listed in the Index. The author is National Retail Accounts Manager for Ball. All the container recipes use ONLY Ball varieties, over and over. The author subtly encourages you to search from garden center to garden center until you find the exact variety (i.e. Ball variety) you're looking for. And for this hardcover advertisement of Ball plants, they want us to pay $24.95 retail! To be fair, there are some inspiring container gardens in the book. And, to be fair, you could substitute other brands of plants for the Ball plants listed, but the total number of different plants used in the container recipes is limited.
If you want to see dozens and dozens of beautiful container recipes for FREE, go to the Proven Winners Website. Yes, the recipes are advertisements for their own varieties, but at least they're free!

Book Description

Rebecca Cole--once an actress/activist and now the owner of the trend-setting Greenwich Village store Potted Gardens--introduces a whole new way to garden. Using any container--from the bed of a toy truck to a bedpan--and any kind of plant--from rose to weed--would-be gardeners can follow Rebecca's guidance and plant a bit of beauty in a corner of their homes or gardens.

Starting at the beginning--what a garden means to urban dwellers and their country cousins and how to stimulate your own imagination--she then helps us hunt for plants at neighborhood nurseries and markets (which she advocates over catalogue shopping); gather containers from dumps, attics, flea markets, and antiques stores; and put it all together in potted gardens for windowsill, desk, and patio. In a chapter on terraces, she turns to the great outdoors, explaining the design and creation of complete gardens made up of containers, artfully arranged to make the most of small spaces. And all along the way she shares her own experiences with breaking all the rules to achieve ebullient flowering displays.

With nearly 200 spectacular photographs, illustrated step-by-step instructions on how to plant in wooden boxes, metal containers, and how to plant bulbs; tips on maintaining a finished potted garden; suggestions on further reading; and a glossary--Potted Gardens is the everyday companion for the new and experienced container gardener alike.

Rebecca Cole is the proprietor of one of New York City's most talked-about shops, Potted Gardens, where she mixes well-loved antiques (and old sinks and watering cans) with flowers and plants. She has made appearances on "Our Home" and "Home Matters" and is a regular guest on "Fox After Breakfast." Her work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Travel and Leisure, House Beautiful, the New York Times, and Victoria, among others. She lives in New York City.

Richard Felber has been photographing America's gardens for two decades. Among the many magazines that have published his work are House Beautiful, Garden Design, and New York magazine. This is his first book. He lives in Connecticut.

Grab a pot, a wooden box, or a tin can; gather your bulbs and flowers; and read Rebecca Cole's Potted Gardens for a whole new way to look at gardening.

Shabby Chic Container Planting.......2006-04-06

Here are some things this book won't do for you:
For those wanting a how-to book, there are only six pages on transplanting, pruning, watering, pests, etc. and eight pages on planting in boxes and buckets. For those wanting traditional pots and window boxes, this enthuses about offbeat containers. For anyone wanting a photo book to identify plants for containers, this isn't a plant guide.
The author gives her personal experiences junk hunting (for containers), setting up city gardens (on rooftops, in windowboxes), and her relationships with plants. Since I've already read other books for the how-to, the plant selection, and the traditional looking containers, this book was a refreshing change.
If you're drawn to the shabby chic style of decorating, you may already have plenty of containers for this style of potted gardening. Brace yourself, the woman hacks holes in the bottom of a fire bucket.
The glossy photos open your mind to new uses for old things. Think of morning glories climbing an old iron bed as a trellis or a fern growing in a cake tin. Fill a teapot with ivy, a spice tin with rosemary, then perch them on a rustic step ladder near a sunny window.
This is a fun idea book for growing plants in containers.

Not what I was looking for.......2000-05-05

I bought this book when I decided to start a container garden on my deck. I returned it the moment I got it. It just didn't have what I was looking for. Although it has some stuff that is pretty to look at it didn't provide the instruction that I wanted and needed. I wasn't impressed in the least. I found a book that outshines this one in every way. It's David Joyce's Complete Container Garden. A huge book with wonderful ideas and photographs. The best part is that it gives step by step instructions on how to duplicate A LOT of the arrangements. I am very proud of my new deck and it is because of that book. I learned a lot. It has all of the info a beginner would need yet it is interesting enough for someone who has gardened forever. Potted Gardens, by Rebecca Cole can't compare.

I love this book!.......2000-04-29

Rebecca Cole's imagination soars when it comes to potted gardens! I love the way she sees containers in everyday items--including items headed for the trash! Hurray for Rebecca and giving me new vision for my garden.

Too much Rebecca Cole, not enough plants!.......2000-03-18

Lots of little anecdotes about Rebecca Cole, but as an inspiration for container gardening, this book is a bomb. If you like cute, this might be your cup of tea, but if you want to create a garden that's something special, this book won't help. Lots of marigolds and petunias in cast-off containers, but nothing new or noteworthy in the plant department. Try Gardening without a Garden by Gay Search or 50 Recipes for Container Gardens by Richard Bird.

Gardening Made Easy--and Fun!.......1999-05-05

With two semi-black thumbs and not much of a penchant for backbreaking work in the garden, I was hesitant to try my hand once again at container gardening--even if it would be for one last time. But POTTED GARDENS opened up a whole new world of gardening to me! Rebecca Cole finds unique and often humorous containers everywhere she goes--and now so do I! I see containers in old coffee pots, and buckets, and boxes; in wooden shoes and tin watering cans. You simply need to open your eyes to Ms Cole's vision of what container, terrace, patio, and potted gardens were meant to be. I recommend this book to weekend and serious gardeners alike.

Container Plants: For Patios, Balconies, and Window Boxes

ASIN: 0764154133

Book Description

Approximately 290 color photos highlight this volume, which shows how to create a miniature garden on a balcony, terrace, or other confined space. A major ingredient for success is the assortment of proper plant containers—urns, tubs, and flower boxes of various sizes to accommodate the needs of different plants. Clearly presented advice for novice gardeners places emphasis on beauty—how to achieve a harmony of blossoms and greenery. Readers learn how to plan a container garden by cultivating plants that blossom in successive months in a temperate climate. Such gardens retain their beauty through all but the few coldest months of each year. A plant directory describes approximately 100 varieties with color photos, thumbnail advice on cultivation, and months of the year when each plant blooms. Plants detailed here include roses and rhododendrons, fuchsia and oleander, dahlias and petunias, bougainvillea, and dozens more flowering varieties. Also in the directory are fruit trees that can be raised in tubs, ferns and shrubs for rich, green backgrounds, and even vegetables that can be cultivated successfully in containers. Each plant profile is supplemented with a set of pictograms that give information at a glance on watering, fertilizing, needed sunlight, and other details. Poisonous plants that are potentially dangerous to pets and kids are also labeled. Plants are listed by their popular names, followed by botanical designations. Full-color photos on every page.

For hobbyists only.......2003-07-05

My "garden" is a balcony, 11 floors up, and I figured that a container gardening guide from Brooklyn would be just the thing for a city gardener like me. Alas, no. The book mainly features chapters by enhusiasts about their particular kicks: alpine gardening, classic (i.e., Greek-inspired) containers, etc. Yes, there's a final chapter with practical gardening advice about soil and plant care, but it's pretty generic. Unless you share the authors' specific passions, buy another guide.

--Wonderful ideas for potted gardens--.......2003-07-02

CONTAINER GARDENS is a great source of information for planting in every type of outside container that you can imagine.

Instructions are given for the various plantings and the photographs make everything very easy to follow. The containers include, strawberry jars, wire baskets, wooden boxes, traditional clay pots and hypertufa troughs. There are suggestions given to which plants do best in the various containers and advice on potting soil, fertilizing and pruning.

This is a very concise guide to potted gardens and the photographs really make you want to duplicate the plantings yourself.

A Book That Will Help The Innocent Children Of Divorce..........2003-03-10

This book leads to new and wondrous horizons for divorced men....Most inportantly, a book which will help the innocent children of divorce.

-John James,Founder of the Grief Recovery Insitute and author of The Grief Recovery Handbook

Helpful, well-written, understanding.......2000-12-08

This book "zeroes in" on the more difficult parts of fathering during and after divorce. It's not a "rah-rah" book, but it's real. Written by someone whose been there.

Read this if you want to be depressed!.......2000-11-28

As a recently divorced dad, this looked like one of a good many books out there to help divorced dads through the pain, guilt and expected range of emotions that we will go through. It is unlike me to even take the time to write such a review as this. I don't even know where to begin in emphasizing to anyone considering this book...DON'T DO IT!! I dont even understand what the author is trying to accomplish with this book. Gerald S. Mayer (author) has done a fantastic job of throwing out statistics, "clinical" information and opinions that lead the reader to feel like divorce is worse than death and that our children will NOT be OK. His content is both very poorly organized, and looks to be nothing more than extreme case study pulled straight from text books on Clinical Psychology. There is no emotion or compassion for the father's emotions in this book. I think Dr. Mayer (who is a practicing Psychologist) needs to either step back and re-evaluate his intentions and compassion for EVERYone involved in the divorce circle(not just the kids), or quite possibly find a new profession. Please dont buy this book. It contains NO HOPE! Do check out "Be A Great Divorced Dad" by Dr. Kenneth N. Condrell. So, far there is some fantastic information, hope and inspiration within it.
