And take on the simplest of ideas, such as raising flower pots on to a wall or table so you see more of them, for instant impact.Following the seasons, A Year Full of Pots shows you how to make your own evolving tapestry of colour through long-lasting container combinations. All the flowers and planting schemes Sarah has tried and tested over the decades are in here, plus the design principles that will work for you at any scale, whether you have one pot or a garden full of them.'An archipelago of inspirational potted paradises awaits on every page of this beautiful but also hugely helpful book' Arthur Parkinson'An invaluable addition to the gardener's bookshelf' Sussex Life
