Review Quotes




"Container Gardening for Beginners is the perfect resource for a new container gardener. It provides step-by-step guidance in choosing soil, container sizes, and basic gardening information particular to the nuances of container gardening. The individual plant profiles provide handy references that anyone growing in containers can continue to refer to over and over. Highly recommend for anyone growing edible crops in containers!" -- Jill McSheehy, author of Vegetable Gardening for Beginners and host of The Beginner's Garden podcast

"Container Gardening for Beginners makes gardening feel easy, fun, and totally accessible to anyone who might have questions about growing edibles or has limited space. Tammy Wylie has a great sense of what beginner gardeners need to know and covers everything from choosing or making containers, to soil and planting. I love the plant profiles section because you can decide what plants will work best for you. It helped me create a plan with my kids before I took them to our local nursery, where it's easy to get overwhelmed with choices and varieties of plants." -- Brandy Stone, author of Gardening for Kids: Learn, Grow, and Get Messy with Fun STEAM Projects (brambleglen.com)

"This book covers all the basics you'll need to get started with container gardening. There's plenty of guidance on how to fill your containers; how, when, and where to plant them; how to figure out if you're watering enough; and so much more. You won't be lost if you're a total newbie, but you'll probably learn something even if you've been gardening for years. The second half of the book is plant profiles, similar to what you'd find in other gardening books, but there are some fun, unusual surprises here as well as suggestions for what size container to use for each plant." -- Mary Schleifer
