This guide is aimed at both the gardener looking for features and points of interest to liven up a dull terrace or an open lawn and at the gardener whose space and resources are much more limited. Ornamental containers, carefully chosen for shape, size and colour, and equally carefully planted, can even make a garden where none exists at all - on paths, steps, balconies, in hanging baskets, window boxes and decorated wheelbarrows parked by the front door. In this practical and illustrated handbook, the author shows how to put all sorts of containers to good use, what composts to use, how to look after and water your plantings and, of course, what to plant. Summer and winter subjects are covered along with fruit, vegetables and herbs for containers, and the plant list includes horticultural and propagating information.

Popular in Victorian days when specialist greenhouses for grapes were known as vineries, the vine is now increasing in popularity again amongst amateur gardeners. Despite the inclement British weather, it is possible to grow grapes here successfully - even out of doors. A sun loving plant, the vine can be grown in the open in the southern part of the British Isles. Elsewhere, in areas of high summer rainfall, strong winds, or where the climate is cool during the growing season, vines should be cultivated under glass - the ideal structure for grapes being a lean-to greenhouse facing south. This new edition of the popular Wisley Handbook, now with full colour throughout and in the new Wisley format, covers all aspects of viticulture for the amateur gardener.

The third in a series, this book shows that, however small the available space, every garden offers an almost unlimited choice of satisfying plant associations - provided the plants are carefully chosen and every part of the garden, including walls, fences, steps and patios, is fully exploited. Container plants, so convenient for quick 'spot' colour, climbers to add height and texture to even the smallest space, and bulbs for trouble-free seasonal colour, all have their special role. This new book is four of the Wisley Handbooks collected into a single volume to provide a comprehensive, colourful gardener's reference book in a convenient format: "Gardening in a Small Space", "Climbing and Wall Plants", "Growing Dwarf Bulbs" and "Gardening in Ornamental Containers".
