This design and style sourcebook shows readers how to use terracotta pots to improve or even tranform the look of the garden in practical ways. Terracotta (literally "baked earth") is a versatile material and terracotta pots look good in any situation, from the grandest garden to the humblest window ledge. The book concentrates on the containers themselves: it reveals the vast range of styles, from the simple to the classical and ornate - and decorative effects, from the natural warm red-earth-brown to bright paints and beautiful glazes; and shows in detail how to place and plant these stylish pots for best effects. Beautiful containers provide architectural features and focal points in larger gardens, change the mood and add seasonal accents in small gardens and even create gardens in tiny spaces where none existed before.

Humorous, charmingly idiosyncratic, full of trenchant observations and great tips, Monty Don entertains and educates the armchair gardener and the passionate life-long gardener alike. His essays are complimented by the exquisite photographs of Fleur Olby, which capture the sensuality of plants and flowers with an unusually striking grace. 
Composed around the calendar year, this visually stunning vork covers a great melange of subjects, including "Valentine Roses," "Novice Gardening," "Apples," "RED!," "New Age Gardening," "Christmas Trees," and "Neighbors." Monty Don writes about gardening as an experience, rather than a particular science, integrating hard work, vitality, and esprit in an enthusiastic examination of the gardening life.
