Creatively planted containers can look good absolutely anywhere: on a doorstep, a windowsill, a roof terrace, or in a garden large or small. In New Container Style, award-winning garden designer and artist Adam Caplin introduces a fresh and imaginative twist to this type of gardening: wonderful plants matched with pots that can be found in your kitchen cabinet, a thrift store - or even in your own backyard.

He offers a mass of original ideas for using discarded containers - in materials as diverse as metal, plastic, wicker, and glass - to make your garden a more beautiful place.
