Container gardening is a new special edition from Gardens Illustrated, the world’s leading gardens magazine. The issue is full of creative yet easy ideas for beautiful container planting schemes to brighten any garden situation – be it a shady garden corner, bright patio or compact balcony.

Each pot display includes a guide to the plants used, along with tips on care and maintenance, ideas on some more unusual container choices, and thoughts on how to adapt plantings as the seasons move on.

We ask Arthur Parkinson for his favourite cut-flower choices to grow in a pot and also have advice on how to grow an apple tree in a container. All this and a guide to essential kit for container gardening.
