Book of Container Gardening Reviews
Last year, I bought both Hillier’s BOOK OF CONTAINER GARDENING and David Joyce’s book THE COMPLETE CONTAINER GARDEN. Joyce’s book is a Reader’s Digest book. RD distills a lot of information in a small space (i.e. the Time-Warner of gardening), however, RD books are never as well developed or thorough as those by Rodale. Joyce and Hillier both hit the high points, although Joyce’s book contains over 500 color photographs, many dealing with color arrangements which I found visually appealing. Joyce’s book is practical and could serve as a coffe table book. Hillier’s book is funtional and not as visually appealing to me.
