  Practically any plant of reasonable size can be grown in a container. This book suggests scores of ideas. Every type of container is included, from simple terra-cotta pots and wooden tubs to troughs, sinks, balcony and window boxes and raised beds. Ideas are presented not only for bulbs, annuals and perennials but also for trees, fruits, vegetables and herbs. There are examples both of gardens that mix plants in pots with plants in beds and gardens created with containers alone.
