Easy Hanging Baskets and Window Boxes

by Richard Jackson and Carolyn Hutchinson

Published 1 June 1998

This text shows how to get the best results from your hanging baskets and windows boxes and also looks at the new popular wall containers now on the market - flower pouches, towers and Babyllon bowls. The book explains how to plant and maintain a range of hanging baskets and window boxes that will provide colour and interest throughout the year. With colour photographs and practical step-by-steps, its emphasis is on the rewards and pleasures of gardening, and how to get impressive results quickly and easily. Written by two prominent gardening writers, the book's non-technical approach should appeal to the majority of gardeners. Included are details on: basic equipment; colour combinations; recommended bedding plants, fruit, vegetables, herbs, bulbs and perennials; ideas for all-seasons, scented ideas, low-maintenance, drought-resistant, shade-loving plantings; easy step-by-steps; and troubleshooting and holiday care.
