Container Gardening Book {Review & Giveaway}-Closed

Winner: Comment #11 - April!


When Storey Publishing first gave me the Container Gardening book to review

I instantly thought of a handful of people I could give the book to as a gift.

How cute would it be-buy a unique container at a yard sale or thrift shop,

clean it up and make it presentable, put the book in the container and

tie the whole thing up with a piece of ribbon and a hand held shovel.

Cute, huh. I thought I could give it to my step mother-in-law,

my co-worker, my friend, my grandma, and the list goes on.

Although I still think it would make a cute gift idea,

I'm keeping mine.

(I'll probably have to buy another one as a gift :)).

You're garden is about to become the envy of the neighborhood.

I have always wanted to learn how to make a flower arrangement and this book teaches you how to make a living flower arrangement-mixing the right potted plants together to make a masterpiece in a pot. (After you get this book you will start noticing some very ugly container gardens and start planning your well organized container garden).

This book also guides you through the process of thinking of containers that you might already have. It teaches you how to make plain pots into a weathered pot (using yogurt) or how to make a neat looking verdigris effect with a galvanized bucket. I'm telling you, you want this book!

It is your lucky day and you may just be the one chosen to receive this book for your very own.
