Starred review from April 1, 2014
Miniature is the next gardening movement. Tiny gardens, creative terrariums, and container planting are all covered in this fun title. Elzer-Peters, horticulturist and gardening author, provides a great introduction. Drawing on the author's considerable expertise, the book covers design, plant selection, containers, themes and decorations, and plant care. Following these basics is coverage of 14 sample gardens, illustrating construction and tying all elements together. Also included is a list of resources for supplies. Illustrations are large and clear, with lots of useful step-by-step instructions for creation of the minigardens. VERDICT The strength of this work is the plant information and the skill of Elzer-Peters. The project garden samples are certainly doable, but designs like those in Janit Calvo's Gardening in Miniature and Michelle Inciarrano and Katy Maslow's Tiny World Terrariums are more inspired and more fanciful. Still, one can't have a garden of any sort without the foundation provided here. Highly recommended for adults and teens alike.
