If space (or time) is in short supply, container gardening is the perfect way to enjoy the beauty and rewards of growing — no matter how small your patch of earth.
Written by Dennis Greville, one of New Zealand’s most respected gardening writers and a regular contributor to New Zealand Gardener magazine, this practical and inspiring guide shows just how easy it is to create a thriving garden in pots, tubs, or planters.
A few well-placed containers on a veranda, patio, or balcony can transform even the smallest space — from bursts of colour and scent to a steady supply of fresh herbs and vegetables.
Inside, you’ll find expert advice on:
-
Creative container ideas
-
Preparing and planting pots
-
The best soil mixes for success
-
Feeding, watering, and care
-
Sunlight and shade tips
-
Seasonal planting inspiration
