A useful book, with a diversity of practical projects, from decorative hanging baskets and window boxes to container gardening with herbs and vegetables. The photographs are large and the step-by-step instructions are clear and easy to follow. Definitely a book I can see myself referring to for ideas in the future.

Rating: 4 of 5

Helpful tips and techniques plus an abundance of color photos. Recommended for gardeners with specific questions as well as those who simply want to learn something new.

Smallish book well illustrated with pictures, photos, sketches and planting plans. Six main sections: cottage garden tradition, what is a cottage garden, design and planting, living with a cottage garden, through the seasons, and key plants.

Gives a few planting plans and schemes (e.g. for borders or veg garden) and is mostly concerned with soft landscaping and uses of plants.
