This makes them invaluable for temporary gardens such as on patios and balconies.In the popular step-by-step style, this beautifully photographed book shows the gardener how to choose, plant and grow annuals such as nasturtiums, marigolds, impatiens, dahlias, zinnias, and lobelia through practical and inspirational pictures and informative text.
