Beautifully designed with modern graphic illustrations, bring home bouquets that brighten up your living room and learn ideas for planting bulbs and tubers that will bloom in early spring plus perennials for year-round colour. And all that from your balcony or windowsill which can bloom and grow abundantly throughout the seasons and also attract insects, bees and butterflies. It starts with the basics of pre-sowing and sowing, and working with the sun and preparing your boxes, then planting schemes for fresh and dried, sweet peas, wild and waving grasses, echinacea and sun flowers or a box full of beautiful blooming dahlias. Create a cottage garden box, a green winter box, late bloomers and winter colour and even learn the secret of cutting a lovely bunch of flowers or drying them. All about ready to use boxes, potting compost, seeds and flower facts and hardy plants you can sow direct into your box from April like the bupleurum, ox-eye daisy and pot marigold, one of which is edible! You can pickle the flower buds of the ox-eye daisy in vinegar for using as capers and all flowers will produce more buds if you keep cutting out the dead flowers. Includes planting 'recipes' in this beautifully illustrated 128 page book. Colour.
