FLOWER YARD: GROWING FLAMBOYANT FLOWERS IN CONTAINERS (HB)

Arthur Parkinson's garden is a flower-filled jungle created in defiance of its urban setting, where the plants drape either side of the path to the buzz of precious bees. This is gardening done entirely in pots, yet on a scale that will inspire anyone who wants their doorstep or patio to be a lively canvas that nurtures them visually and mentally - from jewel scatterings of crocus, flocks of parrot tulips and scented sweet peas to galaxies of single dahlias and towering giraffes of amaryllises grown inside for winter.
