Product Description
Create a little garden paradise in every corner of your home and enjoy its beauty year round. The designs and instructions here show how to assemble your indoor garden from plants purchased at a nursery or grown from seeds, rootings, or cuttings. Photos illustrate the basics--plants, potting techniques, containers--and provide endless inspiration. Watch a water garden grow in a punchbowl or experience the power of nature with a mini-forest of bonsai. Tend a small salad garden or one with culinary herbs and cook with its fresh-picked bounty. Recreate the Hanging Gardens of Babylon...right on a tired cake plate! Your house will turn into a veritable Garden of Eden.

Disappointment
Disappointing. Glossy pictures of unoriginal designs. Many selected plants would not survive in limited interior lighting.
not what it could be
I can't really recommend this book for gardeners of any skill level. It's too basic for advanced gardeners, but not detailed or concrete enough in instructions for beginners. Some of the advice is just plain wrong, the instructions are repetitious, and most of the designs are uninspired. It might work as a coffee table book--if the photos were better. Some people may find some inspiration here, so I can't say it's totally without merit, but it won't find a place on my permanent bookshelf.
