Great ideas and pictures, with how-to's and plant index!

Overall I got a lot of ideas from looking at the pictures. The only drawback was that the captions didn't always list all plants used in the photo, making it difficult to recreate things exactly. But I did get inspired and planted 7 containers yesterday! A list of container-friendly plants in the back was very helpful, but could have been enhanced with a small photo of each so you'd know for sure if "Helictotrichon Sempervirens" is what you're looking for. The projects were interesting & I will attempt at least two next summer, but I wish there had been more. Probably because I'm new to gardening. I appreciated the inspiration from this book's photos.
