Product Description

In this all-new edition of a Sunset classic, where the containers go is as important as what goes in the containers. Large photos illustrate the concept of "landscaping" with potted containers; step-by-step directions show how to create containers with maximum visual impact. The book also describes the best plants for certain container situations, such as compact fruits and herbs for an edible garden on a balcony, or night-blooming flowers for a romantic evening garden. Focusing on areas typically used for planted containers—rooftops, courtyards, and decks—it guides readers through the challenges of each and explores new ways to push creative potential.

Not Even Evolutionary
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.
