Más información sobre el libro

Master the art of growing flowers in pots all year round with inspiration from stunning 4-color images and expert advice from Sarah Raven, the Sunday Times bestselling author of A Year Full of Flowers ("a must-read"-Country Living). Accessible and charming, growing flowers in pots is a smart and satisfying way to enhance any space, from large, elaborate gardens to small city apartments. Get the pots right and your garden will take on a cheerful energy of its own. They are the bubbles in the champagne; the cherries on the cake; the final enhancement of what makes a garden beautiful. And with pots, there is one iron rule: more is more. Discover practical design tips that will enhance your pots. Use ingenious tricks when combining flower colors such as choosing a BRIDE (the star of the show), a BRIDESMAID (similar to the bride but smaller and less conspicuous), and a GATECRASHER (the color contrast, which brings the whole thing to life). Learn all about the types of forms and plant structures-Thriller, Filler, Pillar and Spiller-and how to put them to best use. And even consider simple concepts with newfound importance, like mounting flower pots onto a wall or elevating them to table so you see more of them, for instant impact.
