Beauty, charm, and simplicity are the hallmarks of the Scandinavian planting techniques featured in Containers in the Garden. *Winner of the GardenComm 2023 Laurel Media Awards Gold Award in the Book Publisher/Producer General Readership Category* Celebrity gardener and Danish floral designer Claus Dalby shares his signature container gardening style in this gorgeously illustrated book.

Season by season and color by color, you'll learn how to plant, organize, tend, and share your potted plantings. Whether your display is on the front steps or the back patio, the simple yet bold design methods found here create unique garden features that are a joy to behold. The breathtaking photography found within, coupled with Claus's descriptive and personal text, features:- Early season container plantings of tulips, primroses, narcissus, and other spring-flowering beauties
- Lush summer pots, overflowing with dahlias, roses, hydrangea, and foxgloves
- Colorful and textural foliage-only containers to add structure and interest to the collection
