Book Review: How to Grow Flowers in Small Spaces by Stephanie Walker
Rating: 4 Stars
I recently delved into Stephanie Walker's “How to Grow Flowers in Small Spaces” and found it to be a delightful and informative read. As someone who enjoys gardening but has limited space, I was intrigued by the promise of learning how to brighten up my small garden with flowers.
The book is beautifully illustrated, making it both visually appealing and educational. Walker provides valuable insights, such as the fascinating fact that begonias can be stored indoors during winter and replanted for spring blooms. The advice on dividing daylilies and using marigolds as natural pest deterrents was particularly insightful.
One aspect that stood out to me was the detailed care instructions for 40 different flowers that can thrive in containers or small spaces. The inclusion of information on establishing garden beds, choosing between seeds or transplants, and proper watering techniques was extremely helpful.
While the book excels in providing a wealth of knowledge for gardeners of all levels, it might not fully cater to those seeking specific guidance on container gardening for small balconies or raised beds. It appears more suited for individuals with small backyards or green spaces.
In conclusion, “How to Grow Flowers in Small Spaces” is a valuable resource for anyone looking to enhance their garden with colorful blooms. Whether you're a novice or an experienced gardener, this book offers a wealth of information to help your floral oasis flourish. I highly recommend this book for its comprehensive guidance and beautiful presentation. Grab your gloves and immerse yourself in the world of small space flower gardening with Stephanie Walker as your expert guide.
