Container Gardening: Design Ideas for Rooftops, Balconies, Terraces, and More

I have always loved Sunset books for their thoroughness, great explanations--and drawings. I have the old version of this same title and bought this one sight unseen, assuming it had been improved. It hasn't been, in my estimation. It is focused primarily upon what other people have done with container gardening (lots of photos) rather than explaining the "how-to".I'm not sure why the editoral staff at Sunset has shifted the emphasis of the books, but this seems to be true for all of the new versions. My dissatisfaction with this change has caused me to relegate Sunset to a lower echelon. I will now try to find previous editions of their titles on Amazon or ABE books if there is a subject I do not currently have in my collection.

I bought this book because my husband and I are designing the terrace surrounding our condo in Atlanta. Who cares right? Anyway, this is a nice book and we have enjoyed studying it for ideas. My only comment is that we have picked up magazines on container gardens that were much cheaper. Your choice, but I wouldn't talk you out of buying this book.

I would not describe this publication as a bookc. It is more like a magazine with glossy and photo filled pages. It is disappointing in that regard and not suitable for a bookcase or library shelf. Because it is a Sunset publication, it is professionally done but not what I expected.

This book has been very helpful in providing tips on successful container gardening. I have been referring to it often and my container garden is doing great!

It is a gift for my sister.
